At Inpex's Ichthys LNG project in Australia, workers announced expanded strike action after negotiations over a new enterprise agreement broke down. The Offshore Alliance union alleges the company withdrew previously discussed terms and is attempting to reduce benefits and job security protections. Planned industrial action includes longer work stoppages and additional operational bans. Because the facility supplies a significant share of Australia's LNG exports, the dispute has broader implications for global energy markets and collective bargaining in the resources sector.
