Work-to-rule set to hit Sellafield clean-up

The transfer entails 1,500 development staff throughout 34 contractors throughout disciplines together with electricians, joiners, pipe-fitters, riggers, welders, groundworkers and painters.

Unite mentioned employers have refused to pay Sellafield-specific allowances just like different nuclear initiatives like Hinkley Level C and Sizewell C

A piece-to-rule will see very important clean-up programmes and infrastructure upkeep face disruption.

They should concentrate on developing with a viable provide to keep away from additional escalation.”
