OSLO: Hundreds of offshore workers in Norway went on strike Tuesday after unsuccessful negotiations on wage settlement between labor union Safe and the Norwegian Shipowners’ Association, online newspaper E24 reported.
A total of 669 offshore workers on nine installations on the Norwegian continental shelf opted for labor action and more installations might be closed as a result of the strike, according to the report.
