Chevron LNG Workers Ramp Up Strikes for Full Walkouts

LNG

Workers at Chevron’s Wheatstone and Gorgon LNG export facilities have ramped up industrial action on Thursday with the possibility of full walkouts, the Offshore Alliance said on social media.

  • “Protected Industrial Action has escalated today on the Chevron facilities and will continue to escalate over the coming days and weeks”, the unions wrote.
  • “Amongst other things, the Union’s lawyers have given Chevron until 12:00 tomorrow (Perth time) to give written confirmation to the Union that they will stop making unlawful threats to Offshore Alliance members regarding pay deductions during periods of Protected Industrial Action”, the alliance said.
  • Workers were scheduled to begin rolling 24-hour stoppages from 6:00 Perth time Thursday.
  • Last week, Chevron requested the regulator to intervene in the labor dispute with a so-called intractable bargaining declaration. The case will be heard on 22 September.
