Unite members reject UKDCA 'breakaway' offer—Press Release 29.05.2019

Unite the union has today (29th May) confirmed that its offshore membership covered by a breakaway group of employers in the United Kingdom Drilling Contractors Association (UKDCA) have rejected an inferior pay offer. The breakaway group including Diamond, Ensco/Rowan and Noble offered 2 per cent for one year which was only backdated to 1st January 2019. The offer was rejected by 95 per cent of Unite members.

However, around 500 Unite members covered by the majority group including Archer, Maersk, Transocean and Odfjell have accepted the 5 per cent over two years (2 per cent from January 2019 and 3 per cent from June until May 2020) by 67 per cent. The split in the UKDCA now means that hundreds of Unite members still do not have a pay increase for 2018/2019. As a result, Unite will be consulting its membership covered by the breakaway group to consider all options including a legal industrial action ballot. 
 
John Clark, Unite regional industrial officer, said:  
"Unite’s offshore membership covered by the UKDCA finds itself in the ludicrous posion whereby a majority of the workforce will now receive a pay increase which is backdated and improved unl June 2020. Instead, those covered by the breakaway group have rejected a derisory one year offer which now ends in two days  time. The divisions have solely been created by rival interests in the UKDCA, which is creang uncertainty in the offshore industry. The scale of rejection by 95 per cent should focus minds in these companies that getting back round the negotiating table to match the same offer as accepted by the majority group is a priority. If this renegade group does not, then Unite will consider its next steps including a ballot for industrial action.”
