STB approves CN acquistion

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

Approval paves the way for a new CPKC-CSX interchange connection in Alabama that links Mexico, Texas and the U.S. Southeast.

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.
