Wood Group has said it “respects” the offshore workforce after it voted to accept proposals put forward by the company.
The move to accept a number of changes to contracts comes after further talks were held between both sides in recent weeks.
It came after the first strike action in a generation on the UKCS.
Hundreds of workers had decided to strike across seven of Shell’s North Sea assets.
Dave Stewart, Wood Group’s eastern region chief executive,said:“We welcome our employees’ support for the revised proposal, which recognises their skills, flexibility and capabilities and demonstrates collective leadership in shaping the future of the North Sea.
“We recognise that this has been a difficult period for everyone involved and we respect the workforce for accepting this revised proposal in relation to the current market conditions. This resolution was enabled by the strong engagement within the joint working group of Wood Group representatives, union officials and shop stewards.
“We are committed to continuing to build on the relationships formed and regular engagement with our offshore workforce.”
