More offshore contractors to strike
More than 1,600 offshore contractors are to strike next month in an ongoing pay row, a union announced yesterday.
Unite officials last week said that about 600 workers at Bilfinger UK would take action after turning down a new offer.
But it has now confirmed 1,650 contractors will take part in the two planned 48-hour stoppages.
Bilfinger previously said it had procedures in place to minimise any potential disruption.
The BBC says the strike action is scheduled for June 1-3 and 8-10,
No council U-turn on Dons stadium
There is little cause of optimism on a change of heart for the city council to fund Aberdeen FC’s new stadium – despite a new face at the top.
The SNP’s Christian Allard was installed as council co-leader yesterday – and has ruled out any meaningful change of tack in talks with the football club on a ground at Aberdeen beach.
Councillors have previously made it clear public money would not be spent on building the new stadium.
And Mr Allard told the Press & Journal yesterday: “The partnership decision in the past stands. Our direction is the same, of course.”

Drax investing big in US
Drax Group will build two new bio-energy plants with carbon-capture and storage in the US, following months of deliberation over where fresh investment should be placed.
Drax is now set to invest around £7billion in carbon-capture projects between 2024 and 2030, with £3billion of this being earmarked for the existing North Yorkshire biomass power plant in the UK,.
Proactive Investors says Drax burns wooden pellets imported from the likes of the US, Canada and Brazil to produce power and has been looking to invest in carbon capture in recent years.
Nextflix crackdown
Netflix has started its long-promised crackdown on password sharing in major markets including the UK and the US.
The streaming giant said it was notifying customers that they must pay £4.99 per month, or $7.99 in the US, if they want to share their account with someone outside their homes.
The move is intended to boost subscribers.
The BBC says Netflix currently has 233million subscribers globally.
French flight move to cut carbon emissions
France has banned domestic short-haul flights where train alternatives exist, in a bid to cut carbon emissions.
The law came into force two years after lawmakers had voted to end routes where the same journey could be made by train in under two-and-a-half hours.
The BBC says the ban all but rules out air travel between Paris and cities including Nantes, Lyon and Bordeaux, while connecting flights are unaffected.
UK expected to avoid recession
The UK economy is expected to avoid a recession this year, the International Monetary Fund has said, after it sharply upgraded its growth forecast.
The BBC says the IMF now expects the UK to grow by 0.4% in 2023, whereas last month it forecast the economy would contract by 0.3%.
Growth would be helped by "resilient demand" and falling energy prices.
But the IMF said inflation "remains stubbornly high" and that higher interest rates will need to remain in place if it is to be brought down.
