BHP has resumed negotiations with unions representing around 450 operations and maintenance workers at its Port Hedland iron ore facilities in Western Australia. The latest talks made some progress but failed to secure a final agreement following an eight-hour strike. Negotiations will continue on July 28, reducing the near-term risk of further industrial action.
