Chevron Seeks Australian Help to End LNG Strikes Threatening Global Supplies

Chevron has asked an Australian labor regulator to intervene in its dispute with unions at LNG facilities.
Workers have been undertaking partial strikes since last Friday, causing LNG prices to surge.
Chevron says it has made generous offers, but unions are asking for terms above market rates.
Unions plan a complete 2-week strike starting Sept. 14 if no agreement is reached.
The strikes have affected facilities that supplied about 7% of the world's LNG last year.
