Port Hedland Workers Strike Again | Sydney News

Workers at Port Hedland and near Newman are striking — a 24-hour halt across three unions and a 12-hour pause for high-voltage crews — as tensions escalate over a long-running pay dispute with BHP. Unions reject BHP’s claim that no work was available, insisting pay dockings are a threat to solidarity. Talks since October have stalled, with eleven dead ends, but both sides hint at progress ahead of a Fair Work Commission meeting on August 18th. BHP promises a new proposal, while unions warn more action is possible if no breakthrough comes. The town braces for disruption as negotiations drag on.
