Amsterdam — Unions and BP PLC have reached an agreement on wages for workers BP’ large Rotterdam refinery, which had been largely idled this month amid a dispute over wages.
A union spokesperson said agreement had been reached on a new three-year package including a 6% wage increase, a 4,000 euro one-time bonus, and the ability to participate in a stock compensation plan.
Workers are expected to gradually restart the parts of the facility, one of Europe’s largest, that are still offline ahead of a vote on Wednesday. BP could not immediately be reached for comment.
