Unions and Japan’s Inpex reach an agreement to end industrial action at the Ichthys liquefied natural gas (LNG) project and associated work in Darwin. The deal follows weeks of strikes and negotiations, during which industrial action threatened to disrupt LNG exports. ABC and other outlets report that workers at Inpex’s Ichthys facility in Australia’s Northern Territory restart regular duties after the agreement. Bloomberg and Business News also describe the settlement as ending strike action after prolonged bargaining involving unions and Inpex. The West Australian adds that Offshore Alliance—representing workers—states a pay-related agreement is part of the arrangement, after strikes disrupted production at the Ichthys operation located off Western Australia’s coast and in Darwin. Across sources, the common elements are the same: strike action occurs at the Ichthys LNG project, unions and Inpex negotiate for weeks, and a final deal is reached that brings industrial action to an end and allows operations to resume as normal.
