Drax says it has robust plans to continue power supplies in the event of industrial action.
Workers at the UKs biggest power station, Drax, near Selby, have announced plans to stage a series of nine strikes over pay.
Unite said strikes would take place on 20 and 27 February, then 6, 13, 20, 27 March and 4, 10 and 17 April. "Drax is cynically seeking to boost its bonanza profits further by forcing workers to take a real terms pay cut."Drax said it had offered a "full and final pay settlement" of 8% over 15 months, with three months' backdated pay, making the offer worth 10%.
