Unions at BHP's Port Hedland operations in Western Australia have not reached a wage agreement, a union spokesperson said on Tuesday. The union said a two‑day strike is scheduled for Saturday, August 8 and Sunday, August 9. A Combined Ports Unions spokesperson said the meeting was productive and that substantive issues remain unresolved, but a path forward has been identified. The strike will disrupt ships waiting to be loaded with iron ore at the world's largest iron ore export hub.
