Workers to strike at Shetland Gas Plant

Offshore union Unite has confirmed its members at the Shetland Gas Plant will carry out the first of a series of 24-hour strikes tomorrow.

Aker Solutions staff at the plant, operated by Total, will down tools in a dispute which earlier this week also kicked off a series of stoppages at three North Sea platforms over offshore rotas.

Petrofac and Aker Solutions workers voted to down tools over plans to switch from a two weeks on, three weeks off (2:3) rota to a 3:3, 3:4 schedule, which Unite said was “hated” by workers.
