Unite the union has announced that around 600 offshore members at Bilfinger UK have rejected new pay offers, confirming fresh strike action will now take place in June.
New pay offers were rejected by those on the offshore assets of the operators Ithaca, CNRI and TAQA.
The offers all constituted a basic pay increase of 6%, but with the current real inflation rate standing at 13.5%, the union argued that this represents a real terms pay cut.
