Negotiation Update From MEATuesday, October 8, 2024

Dear Customer,
Yesterday, in an address to the Maritime Employers Association (MEA) the Canadian Union of Public Employees (CUPE) had announced that they will refuse to work overtime from 7am on Thursday, Oct. 10th for an indefinite period.
In response to the advisory, the MEA has countered with the following notice:
“The MEA today advised the Port of Montréal Longshoremen’s Union (Local 375) that the complete cessation of overtime has a significant impact on deployed crews and the tasks required for operations.
As a result, the MEA has decided that employees assigned to shifts with incomplete crews will not be paid. This measure is necessary considering that incomplete shifts will cause imminent slow downs or even halt operations at the Port, which will result in consequences for the public.
The MEA has formally asked the Union to withdraw this strike notice, the pressure tactics of which are scheduled to begin at 7:00 a.m. on Thursday, October 10, and will last indefinitely.
The MEA reiterates its willingness to continue negotiations and asks the Union to follow the procedure dictated by the Federal Mediation and Conciliation Service in order to reach a negotiated agreement as quickly as possible.”
We continue to monitor the status of the ongoing negotiations in Montreal and will advise as further information is made available.
Sincerely,
HENSALL GLOBAL LOGISTICS |
