scaffs wanted shetlands all digs n food inc

Very harsh place to work if you have not done a winter up there it will take more than £15 a day to buy you off
During the Bp CUI contract in 1987 you got £15 a day island allowance just for staying there
This Job made a lot of bears relies that if you all stick together you can get the cash out of these Oil cartels they always have money in there strike account to get them through to first Oil
Do not forget all these projects are all Bank loans just like the working man, there are penalty for late payment,s so the cash in there for the taken if you can stick together they will pay out
The dead line for first Oil&Gas is June this year so the ball is in the bears court,
Old scaffolders saying.
Everywhere you go ........there is a Man Fae the Voe...............
 
The lads need to stick together, but not allow themselves to be swayed
or bullied by certain lads from certain parts of the country.
 
Everyone get the island no matter if you a scaffolder or work for the Shetland times, this isnt paid because inclement
weather or sharing rooms. The allowance is for the cost of living on the island.

What cost of living if your digs and food is provided?
 
The allowence isn't just for contractors everyone gets the allowence paid to them
Locals, travellers not just people in Oil/gas industry.
It was introduced because of cost of fuel and etc.

Are you up there and what is the mood in the camp
how did the shop stewards convince the troops.
And was it unanimous to take it to this stage
 
Looks like they have caved inn hours before the dead line,, but who caved in first ??????
The bears or Petrofac

A total of 500 workers from the North-east were set to protest today over accommodation.

The action would have affected construction work on the new Total gas terminal in Shetland.

After rejecting an offer of extra money from Petrofac to compensate them for having to share accommodation, members of the GMB and Unite unions have accepted offers to negotiate again.

Now officials from both organisations said industrial action had been suspended for two weeks while they ballot the wider membership.

The £3 billion gas plant construction project is due to be completed this summer.

The £3 billion gas plant is next to the Sullom Voe terminal, which handles production from gas fields off Shetland.

The new adjacent gas plant is being built by the French company Total and will cost around £800 million.
