Dear Customer,
Please find excerpt from an article published by The Canadian Press regarding negotiation status between the union and the Port of Montreal.
“The union representing some 1,200 dockworkers at the Port of Montreal has overwhelmingly rejected a deal with their employers association, and a lockout at the facility is underway.
A spokesman for the Canadian Union of Public Employees says members voted 99.7% to reject the latest offer.
Workers have been without a collective agreement since Dec. 31, 2023.
The employer said dockworkers are locked out as of 9 p.m. Sunday with only essential services and activities unrelated to dockworkers continuing at the port.
Workers are now locked out at the country’s two largest ports. Port workers in British Columbia have been locked out since Monday in an ongoing contract dispute at the Port of Vancouver, the largest in Canada.”
We continue to monitor the situation and will provide further update as new information is made available to the industry.
Sincerely,
HENSALL GLOBAL LOGISTICS |
