New Canadian intermodal terminals open

CUPE 375 has issued a 24-hour strike notice from 7 a.m. Sunday, 27 October, affecting all operations at the Port of Montreal.

No resolution has been reached at the Port of Montreal as ongoing negotiations between the Maritime Employers Association and the longshoremen’s union continue to falter.

Canada’s Labour Minister proposes 90-day mediation to resolve contract dispute between Maritime Employers Association and the longshoremen’s union.

Longshore workers at the Port of Montreal have launched an “indefinite” overtime strike.

The overtime refusal is aimed at further intensifying the labour standoff as talks between the union and the Maritime Employers Association (MEA) remain unresolved.

Qube commenced “normal automated operations” at the import/export terminal (IMEX) of the new Moorebank rail facility near Sydney in May and June this year.
