Fears of a return to an age of lockouts and strikes
The boss of coal giant BHP Mitsubishi Alliance has warned of a return to an age of lockouts and strikes under Australia's Labor-ruled controversial industrial relations reforms.Speaking to the Queensland Resources Media Club on Tuesday, BMA asset president Adam Lancey said the laws would have an impact on costs and "productivity needed to stay as part of that conversation."The unions have come under fire in recent weeks by employers including BHP, accusing them of a power grab.

We've got some great strengths here in this country, and we are blessed with resources that the world needs.
