BHP’s iron ore operations in Western Australia’s Pilbara region face disruption due to industrial action by train drivers from Friday. Almost 400 train drivers who are members of the Mining & Energy Union are set to impose bans on the use of BHP’s mobile rostering app, as part of the long-running negotiations for a new enterprise agreement. A BHP spokesman has stated that the company has put forward "a good and comprehensive offer" which recognises the important contribution that the rail team makes to its iron ore business. It will be the first protected industrial action in the Pilbara since 2008. Meanwhile, the MEU’s demerger from the CFMEU will formally take effect from 1 December.
