CONTRACTORS at two of Britain’s nuclear plants have been the latest to take part in a wild cat strike in support of protests over the use of foreign labour.
Workers at Sellafield and Heysham staged a walk out following unofficial industrial action at the Total-owned Lindsey oil refinery in Lincolnshire.
Workers there staged a wildcat strike after refinery owner Total gave a £200 million contract to Italian firm IREM, which then brought in its own foreign contractors.
What do you think? Are the Lindsey oil refinery employees right to walk out in an effort to protect British jobs or do you think they should uphold the rule of law and accept that British workers have a right to jobs in Europe as much as they have rights to come here?
