Employees of the energy company Chevron in Australia prepare to go on strike
In a statement from the Offshore Alliance (OA), which represents Chevron employees, it was indicated that union lawyers informed the company about the strike decision.
The statement indicated that the workers of the liquefied natural gas (LNG) facilities will begin their work stoppage action as of September 7, and it was noted that the actions will continue until the company accepts the negotiating demands.
The spread of strikes in the country, which makes up a significant part of global LNG production, raised supply concerns in the natural gas market. The Gorgon and Wheatstone facilities in Western Australia, along with Woodside Energy Group’s LNG facilities in the same region, account for approximately one tenth of global LNG supply.
The global supply shortage of LNG is expected to increase natural gas prices.
OBJECT TO LOW RATES
“Chevron employees will not be intimidated by those who think they can exploit our resources, steal from Australian citizens and underpay highly skilled oil and gas workers working in dangerous facilities,” the statement said, noting the Chevron’s breach of its union responsibilities. negotiation process.
On the other hand, in statements to the Australian press, a Chevron spokesperson stated that they do not believe that action is necessary to reach an agreement, but that employees have the right to act.
