BHP GROUP LTD-SPON ADR workers at the Port Hedland facility in Australia will seek regulatory arbitration for a new wage deal after nine months of deadlocked negotiations. The dispute comes after operators and maintenance staff staged a two-day strike in August, marking the facility's first major industrial action in 25 years. The breakdown threatens operations at the world's largest iron ore export hub, which serves as the primary shipping gateway for the miner's Pilbara operations.
