The GMB union threatens to hold a national strike ballot over foreign workers pay at power plants around the country.

The union claims it has got evidence that foreign workers have been paid less than British workers, something strongly denied at the time of the dispute at the Lindsey oil refinery in Lincolnshire.

Total, which runs the plant, deny the claims.
