Offshore workers employed by Sparrows Offshore Services on BP’s North Sea installations have called off the strike action after securing an extra three weeks paid leave on BP assets, British union Unite said on Tuesday. 

The strike involved almost 50 workers at BP's Andrew, Clair, Clair Ridge, ETAP, Glen Lyon and Mungo installations in the North Sea, with the deal being equivalent to a 10% rise in pay.
