Crown Estate profits must be used to boost offshore workers, RMT demand
TRANSPORT union RMT demanded today that Crown Estate profits be used to secure decent contracts, pay and working conditions for offshore workers.
Profits from the Crown Estate, land officially owned by the monarch, more than doubled to £1.1 billion from 2023-24, largely driven from fees paid to secure land for offshore wind farms.
RMT says these profits could be used to improve employment conditions and promote sustainable supply chains in the offshore energy sector to support a just transition.
