Second decision to strike by Chevron workers

While unions in Australia accused Chevron of failing to honor the agreement that ended strikes last month, workers at two of Chevron’s liquefied natural gas (LNG) plants in Australia voted to restart strikes. .

In the statement issued by the union, which is a combination of both unions, it is stated that workers working the night shift at Chevron facilities in Gorgon and Wheatstone voted to restart the strikes at the meeting held by the late.

It was reported that the majority of the workers who work in these facilities decided to strike.

‘THE CONDITIONS OF THE AGREEMENT WERE NOT MET’

“Given Chevron’s little faith in negotiations with employees over the past year, its failure to comply with the terms of the agreement is disappointing but not surprising,” said Offshore Alliance spokesman Brad Gandy.

“Offshore Alliance is a member-led union, and in meetings held in the last 24 hours, members voted to restart strikes,” Brad said.

A union representative told Reuters yesterday that Chevron must be given seven business days notice before strikes can begin, and the unions plan to notify Chevron on Monday.

WHAT HAPPENED?

Workers at Chevron’s two LNG facilities in Australia decided to strike due to an escalating wage dispute with the company.

The strikes, which lasted two weeks, ended the last week of September.

The union, which is a combination of two unions, said an agreement has been reached to resolve disputes that endanger 7 percent of the world’s LNG supply.

The dispute, which was expected to end with a deal, shook global natural gas markets for six weeks and caused LNG prices to rise 35 percent in August. (SOZCU, REUTERS)
