Construction Ballot Begins.......

30,000 construction workers in Unite and GMB began voting yesterday on strike action which will effect some of the biggest industrial construction sites in the UK including the oil refinery at Grangemouth in Scotland, Staythorpe power station in Nottinghamshire and the Sellafield nuclear plant in Cumbria.

The move is the latest in a long running dispute between employers and workers in the engineering construction industry that has led to walkouts and disputes as emplaoyes and contractors brought in staff at rates below those contained in National Agreements.
