"UAW Strike: Layoffs and Work Stoppages Escalate as Tensions Rise with Big Three"

The UAW strike against the Big Three automakers is causing layoffs and work stoppages as negotiations continue. The strike, which began last week, has led to disruptions in the supply chain and prompted layoffs at various facilities. UAW President Shawn Fain has warned of further strikes if negotiations do not progress by Friday. The strike is being conducted in a "stand up" manner, allowing the union to escalate the strike incrementally. The automakers are facing challenges in predicting the union's next move.

Chevron's Australia LNG Operations at Risk as Union Strike Intensifies

Chevron's liquefied natural gas (LNG) production facilities in Australia, which account for over 5% of global LNG capacity, could face daily work stoppages of up to 10 hours next week as unions threaten labour action over pay and conditions. The Gorgon and Wheatstone projects may experience escalating stoppages from September 7, potentially impacting Chevron's operations and LNG exports. The unions aim to increase the intensity of the disruptions until Chevron meets their bargaining claim. The potential strikes have already caused a surge in European natural gas prices.
