At the Scottish Trades Union Congress (STUC) conference yesterday, a key cross-union body voted against further support for nuclear energy.
Key energy unions indicated that they would either abstain or not support a proposal from the Prospect and GMB unions, committing to nuclear power as part of a Just Transition to a net zero Scotland.
A statement from both unions read: “We understand that amongst our broad movement there are different views, it is hugely disappointing however when unions embedded in the nuclear industry feel unable to support their own members in that industry, especially those working to design and build these new technologies.
