BHP (BHP) and unions representing workers at its Port Hedland iron ore operations ended the latest round of wage negotiations without reaching an agreement, Reuters reported Tuesday.

The Combined Ports Unions said negotiations will resume next Tuesday, while the Electrical Trades Union, one of three unions in the group, is due to hold separate talks with BHP on Thursday, the report said.

BHP did not immediately respond to MT Newswires' request for comment.
