Publisert Sist oppdatert

Hundreds of workers, a combined 300 from Ponticelli UK and Semco Maritime have voted in favor of strike to begin in December through the end of February 2022.

All workers have employment through TotalEnergies’ North Sea assets working on various sites including Alisa FSO, Culzean, Dunbar, Elgin Franklin, Gryphon FPSO, North Alwyn & Shetland Gas Plant.

A vote count of 93.6% by Unite Ponticelli UK members and 90.3% on Semco Maritime members was announced by the union.

The Unite general secretary Sharon Graham stated, “Unite members at Ponticelli/Semco have made their intentions clear in the ballot. They are going to push back against this attack on their jobs, pay and conditions. Those making the decisions within these companies clearly lack experience and sound judgment. They need to rethink their proposals and come back with an improved offer. Otherwise, they are going to face determined industrial action which will be supported all the way by the union.”
