New strike action under way at MoD Donnington

Hundreds of Ministry of Defence staff were going on strike in Shropshire today in an on-going pay dispute.

Published

Ten days of strike action began this morning and has affected MoD Donnington in Telford.

The move has been called over a one per cent pay rise at the Defence Support Group (DSG) and intensified today as around 400 workers took action.

The latest action by the union Unite led to warnings of backlogs in the repair and maintenance of key military equipment as the union accused DSG management of fattening up the organisation for a sell off.

Workers want an improved pay offer before the deal goes ahead.
