Talks have resumed between the CFMEU and the mine's operator, Thiess.
Mine workers at Collinsville, north-west of Mackay in north Queensland, will vote on a new pay offer from their employer today.
More than 200 workers have been blockading the open-cut coal mine since July 27 over pay and job security issues.
The action was suspended on Friday while talks resumed between the Construction, Forestry, Mining and Energy Union (CFMEU) and the mine's operator, Thiess.
CFMEU spokesman Steve Smyth says workers met last night and will vote on a pay offer again this evening.
"As a show of good faith, we stopped the protected industrial action on Friday," he said.
"They're happy that Thiess have actually come to the party and put some genuine effort into the discussions.
"But at the end of the day, they are more than happy that if Thiess are not genuine and what they've offered isn't what they want then they will consider what options they take next."
