Hundreds of staff at a new nuclear power station are staging a sit-in protest over wages - claiming they were docked pay when they failed to get to work in the snow.

The constructors, who are building Hinkley Point C power station in Somerset, have been pictured sitting in an onsite cafe refusing to work.

An employee, who asked to remain anonymous, said: “Hinkley Point is on a sit-in over wages. This is because we were sent home at the weekend put on standby.
