Dozens of workers at a Fife engineering plant have gathered at a picket line to strike against redundancy packages.

US firm Oceaneering revealed earlier this year that it was planning to cut more than half of its 210-strong workforce at its Rosyth base.

Workers claim that Oceaneering, which serves the offshore oil and gas industry, has backtracked on previous agreements after offering to pay the "legal minimum" in redundancy pay.

Unite members started a 48-hour strike on Tuesday morning, following on from a continuous overtime ban which started on Friday.

The union said it remained in consultation with the firm to try to save as many workers as possible from compulsory redundancy.

It claims that in previous redundancy rounds in 2008, 2009 and 2013, Oceaneering provided enhanced payments of at least double the statutory minimum.

The Houston-based business previously said the job cuts were needed as the firm is struggling with a "significant slowdown in deepwater activity attributable to the harsh decline in crude oil prices".

The firm said it would be inappropriate to comment further as the consultation process was still underway.
