Union Unite has confirmed further industrial action by workers will take place on Monday, 15 August in a dispute over cuts to their pay and allowances.
The workers are employed by the Aberdeen-based energy services group and carry out maintenance/repairs on platforms owned by Shell.

Unite regional officer John Boland said it is "astonishing" that Wood Group refused to hold talks with the union "until next week at the earliest".
"The company needs to start taking this dispute seriously," he said. "No-one takes industrial action lightly, but our members are staying united in the face of this unwarranted attack on their pay and conditions. These further strike dates show their determination.
"We know the North Sea oil and gas industry is facing challenges, but companies have to realise that they can't prop up their profits or create a sustainable industry by attacking their workers."
