Strike Ballot for UK Refinery Workers

OIL

Contractors working at UK refineries will be balloted for strike action, the GMB Union said in an emailed statement.

  • “Members working for the likes of Altrad, Bilfinger and Balfour Beatty among others, will shortly be balloted on oil refineries which include Fawley, Valero and Stanlow with Scottish Refineries following later in the week,” the statement said.
  • The proposed action follows a pay offer from the employer’s association, the ECIA, which was not deemed acceptable.
  • Several power stations may also face industrial action in the near future, Bloomberg said.
