The full story

Offshore energy workers employed by Wood Group on the Judy Platform in the North Sea have scheduled a 48-hour strike to protest against the company's use of fire and rehire tactics. According to the RMT union, the company intends to terminate current employment contracts and force staff to accept new agreements with poorer terms and conditions. RMT general secretary Eddie Dempsey stated that the union is prepared to defend the existing livelihoods of its members and criticised the company for refusing to engage in meaningful discussions. The strike action is set to take place from November 17 to November 18. The union maintains that its members are seeking to preserve their long-standing working conditions rather than requesting new improvements. No official response from Wood Group was provided in the sources.
