Australian coal miners strike over safety, wages and conditions

19.05.12 20 February 2012

Up to 4,000 miners at seven BHP-Billiton Mitsubishi Alliance (BMA) coal mines in Queensland’s Bowen Basin remain on strike after walking off the job on February 15 at the Norwich Park, Saraji, Peak Downs, Blackwater, Gregory Crinum and Goonyella pits.

The seven-day strike, the longest by BMA miners in more than a decade, is over a new enterprise agreement (EA). It involves members of the Construction Forestry Mining and Energy Union (CFMEU), the Australian Manufacturing Workers Union, and the Communications, Electrical and Plumbing Union. The EA negotiations began in 2010.
