Workers at Chevron’s Australian LNG facilities to strike

Workers at Chevron’s two Australian LNG plants at Gorgon and Wheatstone have voted to go on strike from September 7 in a long-running battle for better pay. The two sites account for around 5% of all global LNG supply.

“Members will be participating in rolling stoppages, bans and limitations which will escalate each week until Chevron agrees to our bargaining claim,” the Offshore Alliance said in a Facebook post on Tuesday.

Last week, the Offshore Alliance and Woodside resolved worker disputes at North West Shelf, Australia’s largest LNG facility.
