Offshore staff

LONDON — Unite the Union members in Stork voted July 18 by 61% to end their industrial action after a ballot, which will see offshore salaries increase by 10% and be backdated to January 2023, according to a Unite report.

The ballot, in which 88% of Unite members voted, brings this dispute to an end. About 700 of Unite’s Stork membership have taken part in strike action since May.

“This offer being accepted today is vindication of the hard work our members offshore undertook to improve jobs, pay and conditions," Unite General Secretary Sharon Graham said. “Unite members in Stork have made the oil and gas giants sit up and take notice of their workers."

Unite Scotland’s Industrial Officer Shauna Wright added, “We are thankful for the patience and commitment our members have shown to get an offer on the table for all platforms.”
