Hundreds of workers in the onshore and offshore oil and gas sector in south eastern Australia are facing a major assault on their conditions via the use of sub-contracting companies. Exxon-Mobil-Esso and its contractor UGL have set up a sub-contracting company that will now employ the workers. This company is trying to impose an enterprise agreement that cuts workers’ wages by 30% as well as taking control of the shift rostering away from workers.
