Union to ballot 3,000 Sellafield workers for strike action
GMB, the union for nuclear workers, is balloting 3,000 members at Sellafield for strike action after the company ignored requests for further talks and said it would put in place a below-inflation pay offer.
Sellafield offered 1.5% in June which was rejected by 88% of GMB members on site during a consultative ballot. The Unite union is also balloting its 2,000 members at Sellafield.
The strike ballot begins on Monday, 14 August 2017 and will close on Monday, 4 September 2017.
