| Nearly 900 workers at the Lindsey oil refinery have been sacked, following unofficial strike action at the plant.
About 1,200 contract workers walked out last week in a dispute over 51 redundancies. They claim an agreement not to cut any jobs had been broken.
Total, who own the Lincolnshire plant, say no such agreement was in place.
Managers had asked staff to return to work, but on Thursday night they confirmed "with regret" that hundreds had been sacked.
