Sellafield workers to strike

Workers at the British nuclear reprocessing plant in Sellafield are to stage two one-day strikes in a dispute over pay, unions announced today.

Members of the GMB and Amicus will walk out next Friday November 14 and on November 21 after accusing British Nuclear Fuels (BNFL) of reneging on a deal aimed at closing a £2,000 (€2,900) pay difference between manual and white collar workers.
