Workers at Sullom Voe oil terminal in Shetland have secured an 8.1% pay rise, Unite the Union said today.
The increase will be backdated to April last year and cover up to the end of March 2023.
Negotiations for 2023-24 are already under way.
The union said 80% of the “around 80” members employed by Equans FM overwhelmingly voted in favour of the offer.
Previously, the workers chose to strike in a vote that saw an 85% turnout and 100% support for industrial action.
Unite general-secretary Sharon Graham said: “Unite’s members at Sullom Voe oil terminal have secured a good pay deal because they were prepared to fight for it.
“Our members at Equans FM perform roles that are essential to the operations of the terminal, so it is only right they are rewarded fairly for this work.”
Sullom Voe is operated by EnQuest and receives oil by pipeline from fields near Shetland.
Unite regional industrial officer John Clark said: “We are pleased to get this deal over the line, and for it to have the overwhelming support of our members.
“It was the best deal which could have been achieved. Equans FM quickly realised the determination of our members by improving upon their previous offer.
“It’s yet another win for Unite in the oil and gas industry.”
Ongoing disputes in the North Sea
Unite has been involved in co-ordinating a wave of strikes in the North Sea oil and gas sector.
This week sees 130 Petrofac and Wood staff down tools in separate disputes over pay and working conditions.
Unite has said around 50 of its members employed by Petrofac and about 80 additional Wood staff will be taking part in the strike action.
The disgruntled Petrofac workers are based on the FPF1 platform, operated by Ithaca Energy.
The Wood staff are working on the Cormorant Alpha, North Cormorant and Tern Alpha platforms, operated by Taqa.
Unite recently announced that 700 Bilfinger workers secured a pay rise following industrial unrest.
