Stena Drilling shows that it does not care about its employees. «We can not have a company that does not respect tariff agreements on the Norwegian continental shelf. Industri Energi therefore declares the company unwanted» says Asle Reime, National Secretary in Industri Energi.
Stena Drilling still denies Industri Energi’s local shop steward permission to board the rig «Stena Don», which is currently warm stacked of Orkney,Scotland.
«Industri Energi has a collective agreement with the company. According to it, union representatives have the right to board and visit the members whenever they require» says Reime.
The case has now been ongoing for over a week and despite massive pressure from the Union and frequent correspondence between the management of the rig company and leadership in Industri Energi, Stena Drilling still refuses to let our shop steward meet the members on the rig.
Such behavior is completely unacceptable. «The company shows no signs of changing its attitude. Therefore, we must go to the dramatic step of declaring Stena Drilling as not wanted on the Norwegian continental shelf, as we did with the same company in 2010» says Reime.
