What happened

Employees of a facility belonging to the British company Urenco, which is set to supply enriched uranium to Ukraine’s nuclear power plants, have gone on strike over a pay dispute.

Why it matters

"More than 200 Urenco workers who are employed in enriching uranium at the company’s Capenhurst site in Cheshire have voted for strike action over pay, Unite, the UK’s leading union, said today," according to a statement from Unite, the trade union…

Common ground

Despite record orders of 27.3 bln euros, EBITDA of 221.8 mln euros, and 12.9 mln euros in net income, Urenco has proposed a salary increase of only 4.1%, which has been "rejected by the workers," the statement said.
