Strikes by North Sea oil workers could ‘severely disrupt’ UK fuel supplies

Oil workers in the North Sea are planning to go on strike, which could severely disrupt the UK's fuel supplies. This is because the workers, who are employed by the Texas oil company Apache, have been offered a pay deal that they consider unacceptable, effectively amounting to a pay cut for many employees. The strike could have significant implications for the UK's fuel market, potentially leading to shortages and increased prices.
