BCMEA to Resume Terminal Services Today

Thursday, November 14, 2024

Dear Customer,

Please find update regarding resumption of services in Vancouver.

“Yesterday morning, the Canada Industrial Relations Board (CIRB) issued an order directing the BCMEA and all its members to resume operations today, November 14, and to continue operations and duties until the Board makes a final determination.

Dispatching functions will commence on the day shift; maintenance and operations may begin on the 16:30 shift and are subject to individual terminal operating realities.

With the resumption of work, coupled with an anticipated high volume of vessels and cargo, there will be extensive, province-wide labour requirements across all port areas.

The CIRB has scheduled a hearing on Monday, November 18, to hear the parties on certain questions raised with respect to the ministerial direction under Section 107 of the Canada Labour Code.”

You can read the official BCMEA update here: BCMEA update.

It is unclear at current how this will translate to resumption of rail services.

We continue to monitor for further update and will advise as soon as additional information is available.

Sincerely,

HENSALL GLOBAL LOGISTICS
