Offshore workers at TotalEnergies balloted for strike action

OFFSHORE workers employed by TotalEnergies are being balloted for strike action over pay amid a “tsunami” of industrial unrest in the North Sea.

About 70 Unite members based on the Elgin Franklin and North Alwyn platforms and at the Shetland Gas Plant are involved.

The latest dispute centres on the pay claim for 2023 and a reduction in the days worked offshore.
