"Chevron's Australian LNG facilities hit by extended union strike"
The Offshore Alliance union has initiated a second 24-hour strike at Chevron's liquefied natural gas (LNG) plants in Western Australia, with 15% of Downstream members participating in rolling stoppages. The strike, which began on Sunday, will continue until Monday morning. The union has expressed its intention to extend the industrial action for two more weeks. Chevron has requested Australia's industrial tribunal to intervene and cancel the strikes. While Chevron's Australian LNG facilities account for over 5% of global supply, analysts believe the strikes will have a temporary impact and pose little risk to the market.
