Workers at BHP’s South Flank and Mining Area C iron ore operations in Western Australia have voted to approve a new labour agreement, with 58% of workers voting in favour of the deal. The agreement includes a guaranteed 16% pay hike over its four-year term, increases to site-based allowances, and a new payment scheme for delayed flights.
A Combined BHP Ports Unions spokesperson noted that a sizeable minority had voted against the agreement, citing concerns over the selective usage of company policies and the lack of clear progression and classification structures.
