Hinkley M&E dispute leaves hundreds off site for three weeks

M&E works at the Hinkley Point C nuclear project have been disrupted for over three weeks after a workforce dispute spiralled into a stand-off that saw hundreds of operatives sent home.
The disruption was triggered when workers staged a sit-in protest on 2 June over safety concerns about new clocking-in stations, moved further into the job and away from canteens. Workers claimed the new clocking stations were dangerously close to a crane-lift zone which is denied by management.
