(Reuters) Workers at three onshore facilities serving Norway's oil and gas industry threaten to go on strike October 7, unless employers agree to a new wage deal, the SAFE labor union said in a statement on Monday.
Altogether, 338 workers at ExxonMobil's Slagen refinery terminal, Statoil's Melkoeya LNG plant and Shell's Nyhamna natural gas processing plant would go on strike if the talks break down, the union added.
