Norway oil and gas workers threaten strike, but would not initially hit output

Some 573 members of Norway's Industri Energi oil and gas union plan to go on strike from June 12 onwards if state-brokered mediation with employers fail, but output would initially remain unaffected by a conflict, the trade union said on Friday.

The union members plan to strike at nine offshore installations, including the Njord A, Valhall and several Oseberg platforms, the union said in a statement.
