As stated by Australian mining giant BHP Billiton, the Minerals Council of Australia is planning to organize a big strike in mines across Australia.
Accordingly, the workers of BHP Billiton and Mitsubishi Corporation's subsidiaries in Australia are to launch a major strike. As planned, the workers at Blackwater coking coal mine in the northeast of Australia, which belongs to BHP Billiton and Mitsubishi Corporation, will first go on strike, then followed by other workers at other mines in Australia.
