Unite, the biggest union in construction, has announced that engineering construction workers at power stations and other sites across the UK have rejected an offer on pay and conditions from employers in the engineering construction industry.

Unite's Assistant General Secretary, Les Bayliss, said: "Recent events at engineering construction sites at Lindsey, Staythorpe and Uskmouth have infuriated construction workers and as a result our members in the industry have rejected the employers' latest offer."

Unite has confirmed it will return to the negotiating table to thrash out an improved offer.

Ms Bayliss continued: "The workers are still looking for movement from the employers on an effective means of workers being included in future construction projects."
