Engineers stuck together for recognition of their skilled work.

Workers at the Hinkley Point C suppliers have secured a pay boost worth up to 13 per cent.

More than 150 platers, welders and sheet metal workers at Darchem Engineering, in Stockton-Upon-Tees, walked out in the strike action.

The pay deal will help workers in the cost-of-living crisis.

Andrew Blunt, GMB Organiser, said:

"Workers have stood strong together for what they are worth.

"They were offered split deals, real terms pay cuts, and deals that would have delayed any 2024 discussions - leaving them further out of pocket.

"They rejected them.

"Together they have won a deal that will help them through the cost-of-living crisis."
