Dear Colleagues

 

Rates of Pay and Conditions of Service 2024 – Offshore Diving Industry Agreement

 

Firstly, I would like to congratulate you for returning a magnificent result in the recent ballot. You have given your union a mandate to push forward in this dispute. Noting the ballot result, your union’s National Executive Committee has considered the matter once more and it is calling all directly employed members at Boskalis Subsea Services, Subsea7 and TechnipFMC UK take the following strike action: 

 

Members are be instructed not to book on for any shifts that commence between:

 

• 00:01 hours on Wednesday 14^th August 2024 and 23:59 hours on Monday 14^th October 2024

 

Let’s hope that this action will focus the signatories’ minds and get them back round the table to resolve this matter. The signatories probably believe that you are not prepared to stand up and fight on this issue, it is time to prove them wrong.

 

The ballot of members at Helix WellOps did not meet the statutory thresholds demanded by the anti-trade union laws. The union’s National Executive Committee will consider a report from your Regional Organiser on Helix WellOps tomorrow. I will write to our ODIA ‘dayrater’ members with instructions in due course.    

 

STAND FIRM TOGETHER

AND SUPPORT THE INDUSTRIAL ACTION

 

I will, of course, keep you fully advised on any further developments.

 

Yours sincerely

 

Michael Lynch

General Secretary
