Work resumes in Montreal

Longshoremen to be locked out at Vancouver and Prince Rupert as the ILWU digs its heels in over manning levels for remotely operated cranes.

Port of Montreal says container ships have started to divert to other ports as an indefinite strike starts at Termont’s Viau and Maisonneuve terminals.

Longshore workers at the Port of Montreal plan to launch a new strike on 31 October targeting Termont as part of ongoing labour disputes over working conditions.

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

A week-long strike is set to end after an agreement was made to sort out a regulatory dispute over temporary labour at Venice and Chioggia ports.

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.
