INDUSTRIAL action could be on the cards at the Faslane and Coulport naval nuclear bases on the Clyde, after a trade union raised what it called “major” safety concerns over plans by contractor Capita to reduce the number of firefighters. Unite said yesterday it had been told the company was set to cut the specialist fire safety crew by eight, which they said was a 15% reduction. Capita won the contract last year for fire response services from the Ministry of Defence. Unite has criticised the firm for not holding any consultation on the detail of the new fire services model at the nuclear navy bases and the integrated management risk plan.
