Wood Group Workers Launch Strike Across Harbour Energy Offshore Platforms

Wood Group offshore workers have started a fresh 48-hour strike affecting five Harbour Energy-operated platforms, with further industrial action planned later in November amid a dispute over pay and working conditions.

The latest stoppage began on November 3 and is scheduled to end on November 4, while another 48-hour strike is planned for November 17-18, trade union Unite informed.

The industrial action affects the Britannia, Jasmine, Judy, Lomond and North Everest platforms, involving electrical, production, instrument and mechanical technicians employed by Wood Group.

The dispute centres on what Unite describes as cuts to workers' pay and conditions, including the issuing of fire-and-rehire notices to dozens of employees.
