Norway Rig Workers Expand Strike

摘要

Norwegian rig workers have escalated a dispute over pay and pensions that has crimped production, after employers rejected their demands for higher wages and pension benefits as "unrealistic" (IOD Jul.11'18). Norway's Safe union widened the strike to include a further 900 workers on 19 installations who walked out from midnight Sunday, following the initial strike action last week that involved 670 workers on nine installations.
