In short:

Unionised staff at BHP's operations in Port Hedland have walked off the job for an eight-hour strike.

Family and supporters of the workers began gathering about half an hour before the strike began.

The ABC understands there has been no disruption to operations at the port, with BHP on track to load seven ships by 10pm tonight.
