Dear Customer,
Please find except from an article published today by the Canadian Press:
“Two terminals at the Port of Montreal could be paralyzed next week, as the Syndicat des débardeurs du port de Montréal (Port of Montreal Longshoremen’s Union) filed a 72-hour strike notice on Friday – which could lead to a walkout starting Monday morning.
In a press release, the union confirmed that it had issued its strike notice at 7 a.m. on Friday morning, meaning that its members could stop work as early as 7 a.m. on Monday.
In the event of a strike, it would last for three days, until 6:59 a.m. next Thursday. The union specifies that the strike would affect only Termont Montréal’s two terminals.
Representatives of the Port of Montreal Longshoremen’s Union are scheduled to hold a press conference later on Friday to provide an update on negotiations.
Earlier this week, the Port of Montreal’s 1,150 longshoremen rejected the latest comprehensive offer from the Maritime Employers Association by 99.63%. They also gave themselves a strike mandate.
On Tuesday, the bargaining committee and executive committee of the Canadian Union of Public Employees local had recommended that the longshoremen reject the offer.
The Port of Montreal longshoremen’s collective agreement expired on December 31.”
Will continue to follow and will provide further updates soonest.
Sincerely,
HENSALL GLOBAL LOGISTICS |
