Australian Regulator Clears Way for Strike Vote at LNG Plants

LNG

Australia’s labour regulator has cleared the way for strike action to be taken at Australian LNG facilities, if voted for by workers.

  • The Fair Work Commission said in an order dated Aug. 10 that the union could hold a ballot of employees to decide on industrial action.
  • Chevron and Woodside have been holding talks with unions to avoid strikes which could disrupt up to 10% of global LNG supply and force Asian buyer to outbid Europe for cargoes.
  • As of Thursday, the union involved, Offshore Alliance, had not reached any agreement with Chevron regarding pay and conditions.
  • Industrial action in Australia must be approved by the Fair Work Commission. Following approval, the union can then ballot its workers. Should they vote for strikes, it must take place within 30 days of the vote.
