A coalition of 1000 North Sea workers have issued a wishlist as the energy sector shifts to net zero, including better working conditions, a jobs guarantee, and retraining support
Offshore oil workers have united to demand a “just transition” away from fossil fuels into green jobs - and an end to industry profiteering.
It’s part of a new report, “Our Power: Offshore Workers’ Demands for a Just Energy Transition”, which details the frustrations and fears of many workers in the sector. Robbie Wyness, who has worked as an offshore test engineer in the north-east for 30 years, said workers needed “to be at the centre of transition planning”.“It should be a level playing field. We need sustainability of employment and wages. People wouldn’t jump ship if everybody was on a decent contract.”
Ms Sigrist, who now lives in Glasgow, told the Record: “Some people are just going to look at oil and gas workers and say ‘they’re part of the problem’. “The Scottish Government must pick up these demands and run with them as part of their just transition plan for the energy sector.”
