Union plans July strike at UK oil & gas terminal

The UK's Unite union announced on June 22 that talks to prevent industrial action at the Sullom Voe oil and gas terminal in Scotland had broken down, and that a strike would take place early next month.

Unless the Shetland Islands Council accepts liability in a dispute over an employee service award, some 40 of its towage workers will begin a ban on overtime on July 5 lasting seven weeks. The overtime ban will "hugely disrupt the multi-million pound contract to bring oil tankers on to the shore for oil processing and also on production for the Brent and Ninian fields," Unite said.
