Oct 5 (Reuters) - Workers at Chevron's (CVX.N) two major Australian liquefied natural gas (LNG) projects voted to restart strikes accusing the U.S. energy major on reneging its prior commitments.

Australia's Offshore Alliance union had called off strikes at Chevron's (CVX.N) facilities after the union and Chevron accepted proposals from the country's industrial arbitrator, resolving a fight that threatened to disrupt around 7% of the world's LNG supply.

Chevron had been negotiating with the workers for months at the same as Australia's Woodside Energy (WDS.AX), which managed to avert strikes in August after reaching a deal.

Here is a sequence of events leading up to the strike action:
