Workers at Chevron’s liquefied natural gas (LNG) projects in Australia, which produce 5.1 per cent of the world’s supply of the super-chilled fuel, went on strike on Friday after mediation talks ended without a deal.
What’s next?
Unions kicked off action with short work stoppages and bans on certain tasks, but plan to escalate to a total strike within two weeks if there is no deal.
Until next Wednesday, workers will stop work for up to 11 hours in several blocks per day and refuse to perform certain tasks, including working overtime. If there is still no deal by then, the unions will completely stop work for two weeks.
