EDF staff to walk out over 2% pay rise and broken promises
Energy giant pushed up bills by 10.2% in the run-up to the dispute — but offered below-inflation pay boost to workers

Hundreds of workers at greedy energy giant EDF will strike next week in a dispute over pay.

The Unite union said yesterday that almost 500 of its members in southern England will walk out on May 6 and 8.

Almost four out of five workers voted to go on strike in protest at a 2 per cent offer and reneged on promises dating back to 2012.
