The Minerals Council of Australia will oppose a union’s push for a multi-employer enterprise agreement at five coal mines in NSW. The Collieries’ Staff & Officials Association recently applied to the Fair Work Commission to commence negotiations over a new enterprise agreement for mine supervisors at sites operated by Peabody Energy, Glencore, Whitehaven, Delta and Wollongong Resources. MCA CEO Tania Constable says each company has its own cost structures, business models and operating environments, and they not be "roped together" simply because they all produce coal.

A Glencore spokesman rejects suggestions that protracted enterprise agreement negotiations at its Hunter Valley coal mines has affected its ability to secure new supply contracts or fulfil existing contracts. Tony Maher of the Construction, Forestry, Mining & Energy Union claims that the industrial action has had a material impact on Glencore and resulted in a 20 per cent increase in the price of coal. There are concerns that the dispute could also result in higher electricity prices and affect electricity supply.
