BHP coal mine workers in Australian state set to vote on industrial action
Workers at four mines of the BHP Mitsubishi Alliance (BMA), which owns Australia's largest metallurgical coal fields, will vote on strike action over working conditions and job security, their union said on Wednesday.
The possibility of industrial action at some sites of BHP Group's joint venture with a unit of Mitsubishi Corp in Australia's Queensland state comes as prices slump due to weaker steel demand in China.
