SELLAFIELD WORKERS VOTE TO STRIKE OVER BROKEN PAY PROMISE
These men and women do a back-breaking, often dirty job keeping this huge nuclear reactor site clean, says GMB Union
Hundreds of Sellafield cleaners have voted to strike in anger at a broken pay promise
More than three hundred workers employed by Mitie at the nuclear power plant have said they are ready to take industrial action.
Bosses had promised to up workers’ pay from November last year to help with the cost of living crisis.
Now they have gone back on their word and say a pay rise will only be paid from April – six months later.
Workers and GMB representatives will meet in the coming days to discuss strike dates.
Oli Slack, GMB Organiser, said:
“These workers are rightly furious after broken promises from Mitie bosses.
“These men and women do a back-breaking, often dirty job keeping this huge nuclear site clean.
“Mitie promised them a pay rise in November – they should stick to it.
“GMB is ready to get back round the table to avert this industrial action.”
