BHP Workers Set to Strike Thursday After Negotiations Break Down

Negotiations between BHP and its workers have collapsed, with a labor strike now set to move forward, according to the Combined BHP Ports Union.

The union announced on Tuesday that no agreement was reached between workers and their elected representatives, and that both sides intend to proceed with a protected industrial strike on Thursday, July 16.

Despite the breakdown, an additional round of talks has been scheduled for Tuesday, July 21, this time with the Fair Work Commission taking part in the proceedings.
