Sept 13 (Reuters) – The dispute between Chevron (CVX.N) and workers at its two liquefied natural facilities (LNG) in Australia will be heard by the industrial relations tribunal on Sept. 22, potentially offering a resolution to strikes that began last Friday.
The disagreement is over wages and conditions at Chevron’s Gorgon and Wheatstone operations, which account for more than 5% of global LNG supply.
Chevron had been negotiating with the workers for weeks alongside Australia’s Woodside Energy (WDS.AX), which had managed to avert the strikes last month after reaching a deal.
The workers are backed by the Offshore Alliance (OA) – which combines the Maritime Union of Australia and Australian Workers’ Union.
Here is a sequence of events leading up to the strike action:
