A Norwegian union leading an ongoing strike among drilling oil workers will consider over the next few days whether to escalate it to all its 2,250 members from around 1,600 today, a union official told Reuters.
Asked whether the strike might be widened to the remaining drilling workers that are members of the union, Reidun Ravndal, a member of union Safe's strike committee, said: "we will have this discussion in the next few days."
The remaining employees work on rigs that drill production wells, not on platforms producing oil and gas, Safe said.
