LISTEN: Did Fear Cause Offshore Caterers To Vote Against Strikes?
It's claimed fear caused the low turnout and a NO vote for strikes amongst offshore catering staff.
Yesterday caterers under the RMT narrowly voted against striking (49%), but they did support action short of a strike (60%).
Last week, members of Unite the Union voted to support strike action.
It's all after companies under COTA decided to scrap a two year pay deal, that had been promised upon.
Now, Jake Molloy, Regional Officer for the RMT, says the fear of redundancy or repercussions, stops many cateters from speaking out.
Our reporter Joe Odber sat down with Jake Molloy.
