BHP’s iron ore shipments from the Pilbara are set to be disrupted after 97 per cent of train drivers who are members of the Mining & Energy Union voted in favour of industrial action. The union has organised a 24-hour strike on Friday as part of negotiations for a new enterprise agreement. The train drivers rejected a proposed agreement in December, and BHP’s Warren Wellbeloved says it was a " fair and generous offer". The strike will be the first since 2008 in the Pilbara’s iron ore industry, which is largely deunionised.
