Wildcat strikes spread across UK
Contract workers across Britain are being urged to continue taking wildcat strike action as efforts to resolve a bitter jobs row continue.
Talks aimed at resolving the dispute following the sacking of almost 650 workers at Lindsey oil refinery in North Lincolnshire have been adjourned and will resume on Thursday.
Sources said some progress was made during the talks but there are still "significant barriers".
Unions are demanding the reinstatement of the sacked workers and guarantees of no victimisation of activists involved in sympathy strikes, as well as jobs for 51 employees laid off at Lindsey earlier this month.
Text messages have been sent to workers urging them to continue taking industrial action, adding: "More is needed to finish this dispute to show we will not take this abuse any longer. All sites must show their support. This fight is far from over, brothers."
Up to 4,000 workers at power stations and oil and gas terminals across Britain have taken unofficial action.
