UKOOA Statement: Potential Strike Action by North Sea
Responding to RMT's announcement today that North Sea divers have rejected the current pay offer, Steve Harris, director of communications at the UK Offshore Operators Association (UKOOA), the representative organisation for oil and gas producers in the UK, said:
"Strike action by any group within the industry is obviously disappointing. The North Sea has a fantastic opportunity at the moment to use the vibrant investment climate to secure a long term future.
"Anything that compromises the competitiveness of the UK in what is a globally competitive market place is deeply regretted and strike action harms the attractiveness of the UK in just the same way that regular tax increases do.
"The industry will obviously do all it can to minimise the effect of any action and we very much hope that it can be avoided entirely."
