Dounreay Strike

Workers at the Dounreay nuclear power complex in Caithness have voted to strike after long-running pay talks stalled. The GMB union said members at the plant had overwhelmingly backed industrial action including strikes, working to rule and an overtime ban. It comes after a pay offer was rejected. GMB said its vote delivered a “crushing majority” on a turnout of 85%. Other unions, Unite and Prospect, are also balloting members.
