Breaking: Unite and Bilfinger ask workers to stand down from North Sea strikes

Workers carrying out strikes across the North Sea have been asked to stand down after Bilfinger UK joined a collective bargaining deal.

The contractor has, controversially, long been absent from the Energy Services Agreement (ESA) which already covers around 5,000 workers.

Bilfinger has now signed up in the wake of the strikes, with the ESA designed to set minimum pay and conditions standards.
