SIXTY gas workers downed tools today and demanded an increase in their hourly rate.
The men, mains layers and reinstaters for Alfred McAlpine, Heys Lane, Great Harwood, claim they have not had a significant pay rise for two years.
They are not represented by a union but say they have contacted workers from Liverpool and the Lake District, who have pledged their support for similar action tomorrow.
No-one from the company was available for comment.
