A coal strike at Rix’s Creek mine continues over pay and accident compensation, with no resolution in sight.
Industrial action at Rix’s Creek coal mine near Singleton, starting September 29, 2025, continues as the Bloomfield Group and the Mining and Energy Union remain at odds over a new enterprise agreement.
The union rejected a proposed 16.75% pay rise over four years, citing unfair accident pay practices where workers cover costs personally, unlike at other mines.
Bloomfield calls the offer competitive and stresses sustainability amid declining coal prices, warning it may reassess operations due to potential union financial support for strikers.
The strike is expected to continue at least through October 17.
