Prospect members at Dounreay to take industrial action for first time in a generation

Prospect members at Dounreay have voted to take industrial action over pay, starting with two days of strike action on May 1st and May 2nd followed by a work to rule.

The action over the failure to honour an April 1st 2023 date for a pay rise, is the first time in a generation that workers at the plant will take this step.

Richard Hardy, National Secretary at Prospect, said:

“It’s massively disappointing that we’ve reached this point. Dounreay management and other public sector bodies with oversight of Dounreay have had a number of opportunities to resolve this dispute, but for whatever reason have failed to grasp them.

“Our members do not take these steps lightly, but their resolve should not be underestimated.”
