Thousands of nuclear workers in ballot over strike
Up to 5,000 workers at the Sellafield nuclear reprocessing site in Cumbria are being balloted over strike action in support of higher pay.
The union for nuclear workers, GMB, has organised the vote for its 3,000 members at the facility after it said the company ignored repeated requests for further talks and is set to impose a below-inflation pay offer of 1.5%.
The strike ballot begins today (Monday, August 14) and will close on Monday, September 4 2017.
The Unite union is also balloting its 2,000 members at Sellafield.
