Breakdown in wage negotiations for mobile rig workers

“The gap between the parties was too wide,” says union leader Frode Alfheim, who has led the talks for Styrke.

The negotiations will continue with the National Mediator, but a date for mediation has not yet been set.

If no agreement is reached during mediation, a strike on the Norwegian continental shelf may occur.

The mobile rig agreement covers 3,400 Styrke members working on mobile offshore installations, as well as platform drilling on permanently installed facilities on the Norwegian continental shelf.
