Workers at Inpex Corp.’s Ichthys liquefied natural gas (LNG) export project in Australia will not carry out a planned strike this week, as union and company negotiations continue. Bloomberg reports that the strike, scheduled for Wednesday and Thursday, is cancelled because discussions are progressing. The West Australian similarly says the planned industrial action is put on hold at the eleventh hour as bargaining talks continue.
The reports describe Ichthys as a major LNG export project with operations in Australia, including an LNG export facility in Darwin and production facilities off Western Australia. The strike cancellation applies to the planned work stoppage dates, with both outlets indicating the decision is tied to ongoing negotiations rather than a resolution being formally announced. The outcomes of those talks, and any future industrial action plans, are not detailed in the available summaries.
