Britain’s largest labour union Unite said that around 40 rig workers started a 24-hour strike at 0500 GMT on Monday on the Alwyn, Elgin and Dunbar oil and gas platforms in the British North Sea.The strike came after the union and Total, which operates the platforms, failed to agree over work shifts and pay, a union spokesman said.The row centres on a wage review outlined by Total and concerns that it may force offshore workers to switch to a three on, three off rotation.
