Australian Workers Issue New Strike Threats at Chevron LNG Facilities

by Patria

Australian liquefied natural gas (LNG) workers met Thursday to discuss whether to resume strikes at Chevron Corp. facilities after complaints were raised about the terms of a recent labor agreement.

A union official, who requested anonymity because the talks were private, said a recommendation was made to refile a notice of intent to strike. The outcome of the meeting wasn’t immediately known.

Earlier, the Offshore Alliance, which represents two unions, said in a Facebook post that it would recommend that members “take action against Chevron.” The energy company has “broken the commitment it made to the Fair Work Commission,” Australia’s labor regulator, over the previous job action, the group said.

A spokesman for Chevron Australia said the company had been and would continue to be committed to reaching agreements.

Chevron and the unions reached an agreement last month after workers accepted a proposed deal on pay and conditions. Concerns about the prospect of prolonged strikes and reduced gas exports led to price spikes in Europe and Asia.
