> The bust-up between the MoD and GMB union members is over a soaring pay gap between missile movers and staff who finally put the bombs together.
> Employees dubbed Craft Workers, who assemble the weapons, are paid £16.82 an-hour, plus £4,000 as their “Craft allowance” and a £6,000 retention bonus comes to about £38,000 a-year.
> Non Craft Workers, who transport the weapons, earn just £10.42 an-hour or £20,500 a-year and do not receive bonuses.
