ICEM affiliate Pan-Hellenic Federation of Employees in Petroleum Products—Refineries and Chemical Industry in Greece is engaged in a dispute with Chevron over the company’s restructuring measures.
On 12-13 October, 78 clerical and technical staff of Chevron’s Lubricants Division involved in transport and storage operations struck over the company’s disregard of terms in the national Collective Agreement for petroleum products and liquid gases.
Despite social dialogue and consultation that did not reach mutual accord, Chevron has unilaterally imposed job cuts in certain departments and has said there could be further retrenchments to meet company-set competitiveness goals.
The ICEM has intervened in the dispute with US-based Chevron.
