Australia union says some workers to begin strike action at Woodside's gas plants

Some workers at Woodside Energy's Karratha gas plant and Pluto LNG facilities in Western Australia will begin strike action from Wednesday, according to the Offshore Alliance union. The labor disruption introduces operational risk for LNG output and could create near-term supply uncertainty, but the article does not quantify the scope or duration of the strike. Market impact is likely limited unless the action escalates or materially affects production.
