BHP Workers to Strike at World's Top Iron Ore Export Port BHP workers are set to embark on a strike at the world's top iron ore export port, citing poor working conditions and wages that have not kept pace with inflation.
The move is likely to have significant consequences for global markets, as BHP's operations account for approximately 25% of the world's seaborne traded iron ore.
Understanding the Strike: What's at Stake for BHP Workers The workers, who are members of the Construction, Forestry, Mining and Energy Union (CFMEU), have been negotiating with management over wages and working conditions for months.
