Australian Workers Union Pushes to Re-unionise Pilbara Mine Workers

The Australian Workers Union (AWU) is looking to re-unionise mine workers in Western Australia's Pilbara region following the Labor government's new workplace laws, various news agencies said.

Ahead of the AWU National Conference, held last week in Perth, the Australian Financial Review reported that AWU National Secretary Paul Farrow called out major mining companies operating in the area.

“(The big miners) are having a tough time coming to terms with the fact we now have an Australian government that wants to help real Australians instead of just being the obedient servant of mining corporate interests,” he said. “Pilbara mine workers used to enjoy coverage under enterprise agreements and that’s the situation we need to get back to.”

Top 10 Iron Ore-producing Countries (Updated 2024)

Iron ore prices have displayed volatility in the past few years as the world has dealt with the economic uncertainty surrounding COVID-19 lockdowns, the Russia-Ukraine war and rising levels of inflation.

Prices for the base metal reached a record high of over US$220 per metric ton (MT) in May 2021, but it wasn't long before they declined to a low point of US$84.50 in November of that year. At the time, analysts identified lower demand from China alongside rising supply levels as reasons why prices dropped so drastically in late 2021.

Iron ore prices rebounded to trade in the US$120 to US$130 range in 2023, spurred on by supply issues in Australia and Brazil, as well as the Russia-Ukraine war; higher export duties in India and renewed demand from China have also contributed to the commodity's higher prices.
