Norwegian trade unions have agreed an improved pay deal for oil service firms’ employees.
Industri Energi leader Frode Alfheim and ) and Jan Hodneland in Norwegian oil and gas had been in talks with the firms and said the agreed settlement was “viable”.
The settlement entails a general addition of NOK 7,196 (approximately £659.77) plus $1 night / shift surcharge.
In addition, all oil service employees have been secured a supplement to the matrix this year, at NOK 9,100, which became effective from January 1.
Federal leader Alfheim said: “I am pleased with this year’s oil service bill. We have secured our members in the oil service companies a good settlement where the frontier has formed the framework.”
Individual pay and others covered by part four of the oil service agreement have fallen behind in recent years due to the downturn.
Industri Energi’s negotiating committee has been particularly keen to raise these groups during the year’s settlement.
The parties also agreed to continue the selection work on adverse effects of today’s wage crisis, as agreed under the tariff audit in 2016.
Negotiations will now continue locally in the companies for individually paid offshore, office workers on land and employees at local wage crisis
