Agreement aims to end strike 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.

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

Even though short-lived, the ILA port strike is expected to result in a capacity decline of 10-17% for Asia exporters.

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.

Longshoremen are back on the docks at US east and gulf coast ports, but the ILA has not contractually accepted the negotiated wage increase, and there are still issues to resolve.
