The Offshore Alliance of the Maritime Union of Australia and the Australian Workers Union covers workers on oil and gas platforms and vessels off the Australian coast.
Industrial Relations
Maintenance contractor UGL has used a clause designed to ensure safety during a strike at Chevron's Gorgon LNG to portray the industrial action as illegal.
Safety
Safety regulator WorkSafe does not know when it will receive test results so four workers on Chevron's Gorgon LNG plant will know if they have received an unsafe exposure to toxic mercury.
COVID-19
Unions want Inpex to return to the pre-COVID practice of flying workers through Broome, not the remote Truscott airstrip.
COVID-19
To reduce the risk of a COVID-19 outbreak offshore Shell has told its Prelude LNG workforce to spend half their leave in quarantine
Woodside Petroleum
Woodside has dropped plans for a 12-week work roster blasted by unions as "catastrophically unsafe" and will move to a temporary roster of two weeks of isolation, four weeks work and two weeks at home to manage COVID-19 risk.
Woodside Petroleum
Woodside's offshore workers may get a $50,000 bonus for working 12 weeks straight but unions claim the long stint is unsafe.
Inpex
Offshore unions have welcomed a deal with Inpex that adds two-weeks of isolation to the roster and gives half-pay to stood-down workers but slammed what they say is a Woodside proposal to work offshore for 12 weeks straight.
