More than 3500 central Queensland coalminers have begun a week-long strike, arguing their working conditions don't match their company's record profits.
Workers from seven BHP Billiton Mitsubishi Alliance (BMA) mines across the Bowen Basin walked off the job at midday (AEST) on Wednesday, unhappy with workplace negotiations.
Construction, Forestry, Mining and Energy Union (CFMEU) national president Tony Maher said BMA was trying to drive down conditions for workers despite expanding its central Queensland operations on the back of record profits.
