More BHP (BHP) workers joined a strike at the Port Hedland iron-ore export hub in Western Australia Sunday, Reuters reported Sunday, citing a union spokesperson.

The 24-hour work stoppage by the three unions of the Combined BHP Ports Union followed a ship-loading halt Saturday, according to the report.

Vessels continued to load Sunday, the news outlet reported, citing the company.

Workers are due to return to work Monday, with negotiations set to resume Aug. 18, according to the report.
