WORKERS at a nuclear naval base in Scotland are set to take industrial action, Unite Scotland said today.
The union said that about 70 per cent of its members who provide specialist services for Britain’s deterrent submarines will refuse to work overtime at RNAD Coulport nuclear naval base in Argyll and Bute.
The workers involved in the dispute are employed by the ABL Alliance, which was awarded a contract by the Ministry of Defence to provide services for weapon systems.
Unite regional co-ordinator Stevie Deans said: “The ABL Alliance employers have continued to use delay tactics over six weeks since our members voted for industrial action.
“Instead of using this period to find a positive resolution to the dispute, the ABL Alliance have dangled the promise of new offers in front of our members, and then blamed other parties including the Treasury for absolutely nothing concrete coming forward.
“It’s part of a charade to spin this out and our members won’t tolerate this anymore.
“A continuous overtime ban is now set to start, and if this doesn’t knock some sense into the companies then all options remain on the table for us, including strike action.”
