What Oil and Gas Workers are Demanding from Governments and Industry
Two years on from the publication of the Our Power report – a worker-led plan for an energy transition in the North Sea – oil and gas workers are still demanding decisive action from the UK and Scottish governments.
This report – drawn from the experiences of over 400 oil and gas workers – shines a light on the current conditions workers are facing in the industry, as well as the policies which they support:
- Workers want to see public investment in ports and wind manufacturing, to ensure good quality, unionised, secure jobs are materialised.
- Workers want fully funded training, improved conditions, trade union rights, and job guarantees to ensure their future is secured.
- Workers want to feel the benefits of the energy transition, with profits from the new renewables industry returned to workers and communities, through increased public ownership of the energy industry.
Oil and gas workers are demanding a Workers’ Transition.
This survey was conducted between March and May 2025, and follows the Our Power report, a set of ten demands created by over 1,000 oil and gas workers for a worker-led energy transition in the North Sea.
