Workers at the Lindsey oil refinery in Lincolnshire have been sacked following wildcat strikes over disputed redundancies.

The workers walked out last week in a disagreement over redundancies - a move plant owner Total says was unofficial and illegal.

In the past few days workers at other oil plants and power stations have conducted their own wildcat strikes in sympathy.
