Norwegian Oil Workers Reach New Wage Agreement with Unions
OSLO (Reuters) -Wage talks between Norwegian oil firms and two labour unions resulted in a deal on Tuesday, industry and union officials said.
The Lederne union and Styrke both came to an agreement with companies, industry group Offshore Norway said, while a third union, Safe, will be encompassed by the settlement, averting the risk of strike action by some workers later this year.
The new contract raises annual pay for oil and gas workers by at least 35,000 Norwegian crowns ($3,353), the unions said.
The wage talks covered in total about 7,400 union members, employed by such companies as Equinor, ConocoPhillips and Aker BP.
