MELBOURNE - A union representing train drivers at BHP's Pilbara iron-ore operations in Western Australia has withdrawn industrial action ahead of an updated employment offer from the mining giant, a union representative told Reuters on Friday.
Around 400 train drivers for the iron ore division had planned the action this week after rejecting an offer that they said fell short on consistancy of working schedules, camp standards and arbitration.
"In good faith we have decided that we would withdraw the action at this stage," Mining and Energy Union WA secretary Greg Busson told Reuters about the action slated for Friday.
