ROYAL NAVY frigates could be “significantly delayed” by planned strike action, Unite warns.
An overwhelming 98.4 per cent of the union’s members, which include painters, scaffolders, cleaners and support service workers, voted to strike at defence contractor Kaefer after rejecting a sub-inflation 7.2 per cent offer from the employer.
Unite has warned that work on the £1.25 billion type-31 frigate contract at the Rosyth yard in Fife will grind to a halt this summer as they plan a 12-week, all-out strike to avert a real-terms pay cut.
