Wood Group Offshore Workers Begin 48-Hour Strike Over Pay Dispute
Offshore personnel operating on North Sea platforms have initiated a two-day strike to protest against proposed reductions in compensation and employment terms. The industrial action, organized by the Unite and RMT unions, targets Wood Group following the company's controversial use of fire-and-rehire threats. Union representatives have condemned the firm's management, labeling the tactics as corporate greed. As the walkouts disrupt operations at several Harbour Energy installations, further strikes and overtime bans are scheduled for the coming weeks to pressure the company into negotiations.
