The vice president of Shell’s UK and Ireland Upstream operations has said the oil major is “disappointed” after both Unite and RMT unions voted in support of strike action.
The move could mark the first industrial action of its kind in a generation.
It comes after more than 200 workers were balloted on whether they would support either strike action or action short of a strike.
Wood Group has also said it is “disappointed” by the decision of its staff.
NORTH SEA STRIKE ACTION: What we know so far
Meanwhile, job posting have emerged online bases on a week-by-week rolling contract with Unite the union hitting out at what it sees as a move by the company to supply back-up staff in the wake of potential industrial action.
Paul Goodfellow, Shell UK and Ireland Upstream vice president, said:“We are disappointed that the dispute has reached this stage. We hope that Wood Group’s employees and management can resolve their issues. Our priority is to ensure that the safety of our people and assets will not be compromised during any industrial action.”

His burial ceremony, which had all the trappings of a state funeral, was held at his private estate in Mecklenburg, Germany. The spectacle (photographs below) included a funeral procession led by a horse drawn funeral hearse with senior Nazis officials and senior Royal Dutch Shell directors in attendance, Nazi salutes at the graveside, swastika banners on display and wreaths and personal tributes from Adolf Hitler and Reichsmarschall, Hermann Goring. Deterding was an honored associate and supporter of Hitler and a personal friend of Goring.
Deterding was the guest of Hitler during a four day summit meeting at Berchtesgaden. Sir Henri and Hitler both had ambitions on Russian oil fields. Only an honored personal guest would be rewarded with a private four day meeting at Hitler’s mountain top retreat.
