More than 700 offshore workers at Bilfinger UK have accepted a ‘vastly’ improved wage offer, bringing a pay dispute to an end.
Members of the Unite union accepted a further 6% increase on basic pay, in addition to the 4% rise in January. With other uplifts made by Bilfinger in November 2022, the increase in basic pay has been lifted by up to 19% for some members in less than a year.
The deal for example means a £5.15 uplift in hourly pay for an advanced scaffolder and it constitutes the highest annual pay increase ever in the North Sea for Bilfinger contractors.
