LONDON (Reuters) - One of two Dutch labour unions on Thursday accepted a new pay offer from Royal Dutch Shell (L:RDSa) for workers at the Pernis oil refinery and neighbouring petrochemical plant.
Members of the CNV union accepted the offer, a Shell spokeswoman said.
Members of FNV rejected the offer, however, and a spokesman for the union said the FNV's next move would be decided at a meeting on Thursday.
"Shell and CNV will now sign their Collective Labour Agreement (CLA). This CLA will apply to all of the 1,800 CLA employees that work at Shell Pernis and Moerdijk," the spokeswoman said.
The two sites employ 3,000 employees.
Production has been reduced since Dec 9 at the 404,000 barrel per day oil refinery after the two unions decided to strike over a pay dispute.
