Hundreds of employees at a Scots nuclear power station are set to go on strike amid a row over pay.
A total of 460 workers at Dounreay power station in the Highlands will down their tools on May 1 and May 2. Unite the Union, which represents the staff, said an overtime ban will also be in place as further industrial action is scheduled for May 15 and May 29.
The union previously warned that strike action was ‘inevitable' after it gave employers Nuclear Restoration Services Limited (NRS) a ‘final opportunity’ to resolve the dispute by making a revised pay offer. The Record understands it has recently changed its trading name from Magnox Limited.

The pay dispute centres on a pay offer of 4.5 per cent, effective from April 2023, which was rejected by union members. Unite’s NRS membership includes craft technicians, general operators, chemical and electrical engineers, maintenance fitters and safety advisors.
The membership backed strike action by 85.5 per cent on a turnout of 82.3 per cent.

Instead of getting back round the negotiating table after our members emphatically backed strike action, NRS has continued to string the workforce along.
"The games being played by NRS are now at an end with the announcement of these
