SYDNEY--Workers at two natural-gas facilities owned by Chevron
in Australia have voted to restart industrial action, reigniting a
dispute that has rattled global energy markets.
Offshore Alliance, a partnership between two local unions, said
the decision was taken at mass meetings of members on Thursday and
Friday. It alleged Chevron had attempted to walk back on an
agreement recommended by Australia's workplace arbiter around two
weeks ago.
Australia rivals Qatar as the world's largest exporter of
liquefied natural gas. Chevron's Gorgon and Wheatstone
liquefied-natural-gas facilities in Australia, at the center of the
labor dispute, account for roughly 7% of global supply.
