Union Unite said the latest round of industrial action will begin on 4 October\u00a0and continue until 13 October.<\/p>\n
It added: \u201cPrevious action this autumn has resulted in severe disruption at the site across disciplines including electricians, joiners, pipe-fitters, riggers, welders and groundworkers.\u201d<\/p>\n
Unite general secretary Sharon Graham said: \u201cOur members are highly skilled workers operating in an extremely challenging environment. That this is the most significant industrial action at Sellafield in recent history speaks volumes about the levels of feeling among the workforce.\u201d<\/p>\n
In addition to the strike action, a continuous overtime ban comes into place on 14 October that will see workers refuse to conduct additional work outside their recognised hours.<\/p>\n
Unite is calling on employers to return to the negotiating table to discuss the site specific proposals and would \u201cwelcome the introduction of the conciliation service Acas.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
