Latest oil and gas industry success worth up to £3,000

 
Unite the union can confirm that over 100 workers have backed a pay deal with offshore operator CNOOC.
 
The basic pay increase is worth 3.25 per cent with an additional £600 enhancement to the offshore allowance. The overall package is equivalent to an increase of just under £3,000 for some workers including electrical, instrument, mechanical and production technicians.
 
The latest success for Unite with the offshore operator follows an uplift amounting of up to £8,000 for members last year and a recognition deal signed with CNOOC Petroleum Europe Limited (“CNOOC”) covering workers on the Buzzard, Scott, and Golden Eagle platforms in May 2023.
 
Unite general secretary Sharon Graham said: “Unite has delivered another win for CNOOC workers. It will help deliver better jobs, pay and conditions on the Buzzard, Scott, and Golden Eagle platforms.”
 
Unite industrial officer Stevie Davies said: “Unite continues to achieve successes for our members in the offshore sector. We have delivered for our highly skilled CNOOC membership year after year and this is a deal we are pleased to have successfully negotiated with the company.”
