May 19 (Reuters) - UK's Unite Union on Friday said that
offshore workers at Bilfinger UK Ltd rejected new pay offers
and that strike action will take place in June.
Around 800 Bilfinger contractors will participate in two new
rounds of strike action starting on June 1 and ending on June 3,
and then from June 8 to June 10, Unite said in a news release.
The new pay offer was rejected by about 600 workers on the
offshore assets of operators Ithaca, CNRI and TAQA, separate
from those members who took part in a previous round of 48-hour
strike action involving 1,200 offshore workers on May 10-12.
The oil and gas operators hit by the industrial action will
include BP, CNRI, Ithaca, Repsol and TAQA, Unite said.
