Port of Montreal Longshore Workers to Hold One-Day StrikeThursday, October 24, 2024

Dear Customer,
Please find update on the state of negotiations between the MEA and CUPE taken from a news article published by The Gazette:
“The Port of Montreal will be the site of a one-day strike by longshore workers on Sunday as contract talks continue to lag. But unlike previous work stoppages, Sunday’s walkout is expected to be felt at all four of the installation’s terminals.
The FTQ-affiliated Syndicat des débardeurs du port de Montréal filed a 72-hour strike notice on Thursday advising management that its members will be starting their strike at 7 a.m. Sunday and ending it at 6:59 a.m. Monday.
Since Oct. 10, the 1,200 workers at the nation’s second-largest port have been engaged in an overtime strike that will continue after Sunday’s walkout.
About 300 unionized workers struck for three days in October, but that walkout only involved two of the port’s four terminals.
The union will hold a special meeting for the membership on Sunday, the agenda and content of which will not be shared with news media.
Last week, federal Labour Minister Steven MacKinnon proposed to the union and the Maritime Employers Association that the issue be sent to time-limited mediation.
But he confirmed on Monday that the two parties remained unable to agree and hoped they would be able to reach a negotiated settlement “as quickly as possible.”
The longshore workers’ contract expired last Dec. 31.”
We continue to monitor the situation and will advise as new information is received.
Sincerely,
HENSALL GLOBAL LOGISTICS |
