“Rats in the mess room, what you gonna do?”

Workers at the Exxon Fawley site in Hampshire have no hot water, heating and toilets in the mess rooms, but plenty of rats.

Talks with management have delivered nothing, so Unite members massed at the gate this morning with their own inflatable rat.

“What kind of world are we living in when we’re asked to work under these conditions in the 21st century?” commented one worker.

Of course the biggest rat at Exxon is the chief executive, on $28 million a year!
