600 Faslane and Coulport nuclear base workers in Scotland vote on potential strike action over unacceptable 7% pay increase offer amid 9.1% inflation rate.

600 workers at Faslane and Coulport nuclear bases in Scotland are voting on potential strike action over pay disputes. Unite members, who work for Babcock Marine, overwhelmingly rejected a 7% pay increase offer with a 3% uplift from August, citing it as a substantial pay cut due to the 9.1% inflation rate when the increase was due. The two-week ballot started on May 21.
