Workers at the U.K.’s Sellafield site represented by the union Unite last week voted to back an industrial action and potential strike. At issue is the Sellafield Contractor Group’s “refusal to allow a full time union shop steward and a more proactive remit for the site’s health and safety committee,” according to a union statement. About 1,200 members voted 98 percent in favor of industrial action, and this Tuesday will decide what type of industrial action to take. “Our members have lost patience with Sellafield management who have steadfastly continued to ignore our very reasonable request,” Unite regional officer Steve Benson said in a statement. “All they are asking for is their rights for a co-worker to become a union shop steward at the Sellafield site to represent construction workers and keep them safe. It makes sense for our members and the company and it will help improve industrial relations and a safety and welfare culture at the site.”
