The BHP Billiton Ports Joint Trade Union, a port facility worker in Port Hedland, Australia, said on Tuesday that the workers would seek arbitration since the two parties failed to agree on the terms of the new salary agreement. According to reports, the BHP Billiton Ports Joint Trade Union represents about 450 operators and maintenance workers at the Port Hedland facility. The union will determine the application as an “irreconcilable negotiation”, which will allow the regulator's Fair Work Commission to set terms for the agreement between the parties.
