“No evidence” of blacklisting on Mariner says union boss

There is no evidence of blacklisting on a North Sea platform where workers carried out unofficial strike action, according to a union chief.

Employees for contractor Aker Solutions downed tools at the Mariner field for eight hours on Saturday and are believed to have declined work on Sunday.

A spokesperson for the group said it was over “poor working conditions, poor management, possible blacklisting and having an offer of a bonus removed.”

However, a union official says there should be no concerns of blacklisting on the Mariner.
