Read our privacy policy Workers at the Cammell Laird shipyard on Merseyside have voted to strike in a row over pay and conditions. They added: “There have been complaints about sexual harassment and disability discrimination.” Unite general secretary Sharon Graham said: “Cammell Laird has signed contracts worth hundreds of millions with the UK Government to build and maintain its ships, yet it thinks it can get away with cutting our members’ pay in real terms. It’s no wonder they’re frustrated, angry and have voted to strike with a huge majority.” The unions said their members are working on the Navy’s Dreadnought-class submarines, which will carry the UK’s Trident nuclear missiles.
