LIQUEFIED natural gas unions in Western Australia endorsed an in-principle offer from Woodside Energy Group easing a strike threat, reports Bloomberg.
Details of the offer, the culmination of a 15-hour meeting, will be presented to workers at Woodside's North West Shelf LNG operations, the Offshore Alliance - a group that represents two major unions - said on Facebook. Meanwhile, the unions committed to hold off on giving notice for strikes as they iron out final details.
Workers at various Chevron operations in Australia are continuing to negotiate in two separate disputes that also carry a threat of potential strike action. A ballot on approving industrial action - a key step before any strikes can be triggered - is to be completed at the Gorgon and Wheatstone downstream facilities.
"It's pleasing that Woodside has made our members a strong offer without industrial action being taken," Offshore Alliance spokesman Brad Gandy said in an emailed statement. "Despite the lengthy road to this point, we are relieved that Woodside has now taken a more pragmatic approach and decided to offer our members an enterprise agreement with industry standard terms and conditions."
