Workers at Hinkley Point C nuclear plant stage wildcat strike over alleged bullying | Hinkley Point C
Hundreds of workers at the Hinkley Point C nuclear construction site in Somerset organized a Wildcat strike to protest against the claim that the project was bullying by its supervisors.
It is a group of mechanical engineers who numbered hundreds of low decrease in Tuesday, without supporting their unions by deepening the problems of 26,000 labor force on the conditions on the site.
Following the allegations that the senior executives on the Hinkley site had bullying for engineering personnel, the union representatives and site developer of the French public service company on the last Wednesday became the second informal strike that took place a week after the challenge of the French public service company EDF.
A contract worker, who has been late in the project and has billions of pounds over the budget, said Guardian was believed to be bullying to a young woman in the team.
“There was enough and they get out of the door,” he said.
Union Unite confirmed that some workers participated in the “management practices” protest, which led to the dismissal of workers from the site. “Unite is waiting for this issue to be solved soon,” a spokesman said.
Guardian understands that EDF, who developed the first new nuclear reactor in a generation in Hinkley Point, has begun an independent investigation into the field of bullying in the field.
It is time for the UK nuclear guard dog EDF to prosecute EDF for the death of a site supervisor after an accident in 2022 after a accident in 2022.
Workers also complained that the construction site was invaded by rats. Unite and GMB unions seem to warn EDF that emergency action is necessary because rodents are “everywhere”.
Hinkley Point C spokesman said: “We are asking to follow the right process to solve any complaints. We join our tradesmen union partners. Normal work throughout the site was not affected by this informal action.”
