Union Strike at Reach Subsea Disrupts Norwegian Offshore Operations
What happened
Nearly a dozen members of the Norwegian energy workers union SAFE went on strike at Reach Subsea after government mediation failed to reach an agreement. The strike, which followed mediation in Oslo on October 14 and 15, is due to SAFE claiming the company's offer fell short of expectations. Reach Subsea stated its priority during the strike is to safeguard people and manage the impact on customers.
