Chevron Australia said despite "meaningful negotiations" this week, unions continued to ask for terms well above industry standards.
“The ongoing lack of agreement reinforces our view that there is no reasonable prospect of agreement between the parties,” the Chevron spokesperson said.
The Fair Work Commission will meet on Friday to decide whether to intervene and halt the strikes which began on Sept. 8 and escalated to two 24-hour work stoppages over the weekend.
The Commission ordered Chevron and unions into talks this week ahead of the hearing in the hope of hammering out a deal over pay and conditions.
