Do I hear that Y2K bug buzzing off in the distance? "London, Nov. 12 (Bloomberg) -- BG Plc, the U.K. gas transportation and storage services firm, is facing industrial action over Christmas and New Year, by employees in pursuit of a pay claim, the Guardian newspaper reported, citing a vote by BG gas workers. Technicians working offshore on BG storage facilities in the North Sea voted 96 percent in favour of industrial action, the newspaper said. This comes after yesterday's release of the company's third-quarter results and statement, in which BG said it could not rule out gas supply difficulties resulting from computer problems related to the year 2000, although it has spent 53 million pounds ($85.7 million) on a program of contingency measures to cover the period, according to the Guardian."
