Strike Threat Delivers Bigger Pay Deal for Neo Next Offshore Workers in North Sea
Around 50 offshore workers at Neo Next+ Energy's Elgin Franklin and North Alwyn platforms have accepted an enhanced pay deal after threatening strike action. The one-year deal lifts pay by over £4,000, a 75% improvement over the initial offer, averting planned strikes set for July 22. The resolution removes a potential disruption to North Sea oil production, indirectly supporting stable fuel supply chains for shipping.
