## Apache's Strike Plan
Apache planned to keep Forties Charlie staffed during a 24-hour strike to operate the platform and support other producers using the North Sea oil pipeline.
## Strike Dates and Scope
The strike runs from 1 a.m. ET Oct. 21 to 12:59 a.m. ET Oct. 22, affecting over 160 workers across five Forties platforms and two Beryl platforms.
## Pipeline Impact Concerns
Unite warned a shutdown at Charlie could threaten the wider pipeline system, while Apache said reduced pressure would be comparable to routine maintenance.
## Key takeaway

Apache will maintain Forties Charlie operations during a 24-hour strike to avoid pipeline shutdowns.
