CANBERRA: Labour unions said Friday they will end disruptive strike actions at Chevron Corporation’s three liquefied natural gas plants in Australia that provide more than 5 per cent of global LNG supplies. Chevron Australia and the Offshore Alliance said they had accepted an arbitrator’s recommendation for resolving a dispute over pay and working conditions. The alliance is a partnership of the Australian Workers’ Union and the Maritime Union of Australia, which represents workers in the offshore oil and gas industry.
Neither side gave any details on the proposed contract terms.
The strike actions involve 500 unionised staff who have yet to accept updated employment contracts at the US energy giant’s three facilities in the Pilbara region of Western Australia state: Gorgon, Wheatstone Platform and Wheatstone Downstream.
