Australian Unions, Chevron To Meet for Talks on Wednesday

LNG

Chevrons and the unions are meeting for mediation talks on Wednesday morning with the industrial arbitrator to avoid the restart of industrial action at the Gorgon and Wheatstone LNG sites according to the Fair Work Commission.

  • The two parties are meeting with Commissioner Bernie Riordan on Wednesday 10:30AM AWST. The Commissioner last month helped to broker the in-principle agreement.
  • The Offshore Alliance announced on Monday workers at the sites will restart industrial action on 19 October after efforts to turn the in-principle agreement into a binding deal failed.
  • Chevron said on Monday it is unlikely that there is a need to restart strikes as the firm is committed to reaching an agreement and only a small number of issues are outstanding.
