Unions in Scotland join forces to tackle ‘belligerent’ fire-and-rehire strategy from offshore contractor

UNIONS in Scotland joined forces today to tackle a “belligerent” fire-and-rehire strategy from an offshore contractor. 

Bilfinger has been accused of using this strategy to impose pay cuts on workers in Scotland, with unions warning that a continuation would result in significant industrial relations issues. 

Representatives from Unite, RMT and GMB north of the border claim that workers have all registered individual grievances to challenge the company in response.
