Port of Montreal Strike UpdateMonday, September 30, 2024

Dear Customer,
The union representing longshore workers at the Port of Montreal have begun a three-day strike further to the strike notice issued Friday.
The Maritime Employers Association (MEA) has confirmed that the work stoppage began this morning at 7am at the Viau and Maisonneuve Termont terminals.
The work stoppage is expected to last until 7am on Thursday morning.
At current, only the two noted terminals operated by Termont Montreal are being impacted. The operator has a long-term contract for handling the business of Mediterranean Shipping Company.
In an article published by Ajot.com, it was noted that union advisor Michel Murray appears to single out one issue that provoked the industrial action – alleging that Termont was not respecting the existing collective agreement by halving the number of foremen on stevedoring operations. The article also suggested that Mr. Murray has communicated that if an agreement can be reached with Termont where they will stop this practice and respect the existing contract the union will cease their work stoppage.
Mediated negotiations continue.
In the interim, CN has advised that they have stopped accepting export traffic to Viau and Maisonneuve Termont terminals.
We continue to monitor for updates to planned vessel calls and will provide revised dating where applicable.
Please reach out to your Hensall Global representative if you have any questions / concerns or file specific inquiries.
Sincerely,
HENSALL GLOBAL LOGISTICS |
