Tuesday 28 and Wednesday 29 April have been set aside for this year’s negotiations on the collective pay agreements covering offshore employees in operator, drilling and catering companies on the Norwegian continental shelf.
The lead sector model is the norm-setting framework for overall pay formation in Norway. This also applies to pay talks within Offshore Norway’s collective agreement areas. The Federation of Norwegian Industries and the United Federation of Trade Unions have, through mediation earlier this spring, agreed on an overall economic framework of 4.4 per cent.
“We look forward to constructive and constructive negotiations, and to reaching a settlement that safeguards competitiveness and secures jobs going forward,” says Elisabeth Brattebø Fenne, chief negotiator and Director of Employment Relations at Offshore Norge.
The trade union Styrke, the Norwegian Union of Energy Workers (Safe) and the Norwegian Organisation of Managers and Executives (Lederne) are negotiating on behalf of the employees. Offshore Norge represents the employers.
Approximately 8.000 organised employees within operator, drilling and catering activities are covered by the offshore agreements. These employees work for the following companies:
Equinor ASA, ConocoPhillips Norge, Aker BP ASA, OKEA ASA, Vår Energi ASA, Repsol Norge AS, KCA Deutag Drilling Norge AS, Sodexo Remote Sites Norway AS, ESS Support Services AS, Coor Service Management AS, and 4Service Offshore Hotels AS.
