Workers at BHP’s Pilbara iron ore operations narrowly vote in favour of a new enterprise agreement that includes a 16% pay rise, according to multiple Australian outlets. The vote is conducted among employees represented by a coalition of unions in Western Australia’s Pilbara region. The agreement covers nearly 2,000 workers, with the vote result described as close. The reporting indicates the decision comes through an enterprise agreement process, reflecting negotiations between the union coalition and BHP over pay and other employment conditions. While the outlets agree on the main outcome—approval of the 16% increase—the coverage does not provide the exact vote margin in the excerpts provided. Overall, the sources consistently describe a narrow approval for a pay increase as part of a broader workplace agreement affecting almost 2,000 employees at BHP’s iron ore sites in the Pilbara.
