MEA to Resume Terminal Services

Friday, November 15, 2024

Dear Customer,

MEA has released the following update to the industry:

“The Canadian Industrial Relations Board (CIRB) today issued an order requiring operations to resume at the Port of Montréal effective 7 a.m. Saturday.

The Maritime Employers Association will act on the CIRB’s order to allow port operators to resume their activities. Port employees will receive their assignments starting at 6 p.m. this Friday, November 15, for the next day.

The MEA will work closely with the Longshoremen’s Union, CUPE Local 375, its members, the Montréal Port Authority and all other supply chain partners to ensure operations resume safely and efficiently at the Port of Montréal.

On Tuesday, Minister of Labour Steven MacKinnon intervened in the Montréal, Vancouver and Québec City disputes by asking the CIRB for binding arbitration to break the impasse.”

At current CN rail has not resumed rail service. CPKC has started to accept both east and westbound export container traffic.

We continue to monitor for further update.

Sincerely,

HENSALL GLOBAL LOGISTICS
