Royal Dutch Shell PLC (RDSB.LN) said Tuesday that strikes are
under way at its Pernis and Moerdijk operations in the Netherlands
and that the impact of these actions is significant.
The Anglo-Dutch oil-and-gas company said the strikes were
hurting the plants in several ways and that it regrets unions have
chosen to take such strong measures so soon.
Pernis is the largest oil refinery in Europe and Moerdijk is a
petrochemical plant. Pernis produces more than 400,000 barrels a
day.
Shell said that to support its work-willing employees, it has
decided to take wage measures as of this afternoon for those
workers who register as strikers.
Shell said it is hopeful terms will be reached and that it
continues to believe a 7.5% pay rise, spread over two years, is a
fair deal.
The company will stay in touch with all of its workers, Shell
said.
