Hundreds of staff at a new nuclear power station are staging a sit-in protest over wages - claiming they were docked pay when they failed to get to work in the snow.

The constructors, who are building Hinkley Point C power station in Somerset, have been pictured sitting in an onsite cafe refusing to work.

An employee, who asked to remain anonymous, said: “Hinkley Point is on a sit-in over wages. This is because we were sent home at the weekend put on standby.

“But we’re now being withheld weekend payment because buses were cancelled on Friday morning until Monday morning.
