A North Sea oil worker has claimed staff are working on a “ticking time-bomb” as a dispute over changes to pay and conditions rumbles on.

More than 400 workers across eight of Shell’s platforms are set to stage the first in a series of strikes next week after RMT and Unite union members voted in favour of industrial action.

Workers have spoken to Energy Voice anonymously about their concerns over changes to their pay as well as morale offshore, which they said is the “lowest it has ever been”.
