This morning (Wednesday 11th January), electricians at Ratcliffe-on-Soar power station joined a national day of action, the latest in a series of protests against a proposed working arrangement which they claim would see their wages cut by a third.

Workers have demonstrated outside Ratcliff-on-Soar power station in a dispute over contracts. They claim new terms would mean a 30% pay cut. A ballot for industrial action is likely.
