UP TO 140 contractors at Fiddler’s Ferry power station, in Widnes, continued their unofficial strike in sympathy yesterday.
The workers walked out on Monday in support of colleagues at the Lindsey Oil Refinery, in north Lincolnshire.
The contractors withdrew their labour in protest at a sub-contractor cutting 51 jobs while another employer on the site was hiring workers.
David Porter, director at sub-contractors AE&E Lentjes, confirmed 140 staff had walked out of Fiddlers Ferry power station on Monday afternoon.
He said the power plant was operating normally and was not affected by the action.
