Workers at Chevron’s two Australian LNG plants at Gorgon and Wheatstone have voted to go back on strike in a long-running battle for better pay. The two sites account for around 5% of all global LNG supply.

The unions accused the US energy major of reneging on commitments made last month to bring a previous three-week strike to an end. 

Unions must formally provide Chevron seven days’ notice before any strikes can start, something which is tipped to happen on Monday.
