A union has warned production on dozens of oil and gas platforms could be brought to a halt, as offshore workers walk out in a pay dispute.
Unite stated that on Monday, 1,300 of its members who work in the North Sea will strike for two days, a stoppage which will hit energy firms including BP, Shell and Total.
Sharon Graham, the union’s general secretary, said: “The 48-hour strike action will only be the start of the tsunami of industrial unrest if contractors and operators refuse to give our offshore members the better jobs, pay and conditions they deserve.”
