Clyde nuclear base workers to strike as row emerges over its future WORKERS at the Clyde nuclear base are set to strike after what a union said was "overwhelming" support for action in a pay and conditions dispute. Unite said its membership at the Coulport and Faslane naval bases on the Clyde are set to take part in rolling industrial action after a ballot of its 1000-strong membership. Babcock, which owns the Coulport and Faslane naval bases on the Clyde, said it was "disappointed" by the decision. Unite members voted by 95% in support of strike action on an aggregated 65% turnout across the three different entities at the bases - Babcock Industrial, Babcock Non-Industrial and ISS Facility Services.
