The shipyard is a big employer in Birkenhead
Shipbuilders in Birkenhead are preparing to ballot for strike action after seven workers were suspended, according to a major union.
The union now claims five members, including their convener have been immediately suspended pending a full disciplinary investigation. It is understood workers furious about this move held an emergency meeting last week and agreed to be balloted for potential strike action between July 8 and August 5.
She added: "Our members are rightly furious and will have the full support of Unite as they are balloted.”
