Port of Montreal Negotiation Update

Dear Customer,

 

Please find update released to the industry by the Maritime Employers Association.

 

“Since November 25th, the MEA and the Longshoremen’s Union have been engaged in a 90-day mediation process, which was supposed to end on February 14th. At the mediator’s suggestion, both parties agreed to extend the process until March 14th. Since then, the parties and the mediator have continued discussions in an effort to find common ground, with the goal of reaching a negotiated collective agreement. The special mediator informed us today that he no longer saw any potential agreement between the two parties and has ended the mediation process.

 

The end of mediation triggers the process of arbitration, to which both parties must submit.”

 

We continue to monitor and will provide further update as new information is made available.

 

Sincerely,

 

HENSALL GLOBAL LOGISTICS
