The union representing some 1,200 dockworkers on the Port of Montreal has overwhelmingly rejected a cope with their employers affiliation.
A spokesman for the Canadian Union of Public Staff says members voted 99.7 per cent to reject the newest supply.
Dockworkers might be locked out at 9 p.m. Sunday, and solely important providers and actions unrelated to dockworkers will proceed on the port after the deadline.
The Port of Montreal, Canada’s second-biggest port, strikes practically $400 million in items every single day. The Port of Montreal mentioned three terminals would stay operational within the occasion of a lockout: the Bickerdike terminal, liquid bulk terminals and the grain terminal.
The employer has referred to as the deal its “ultimate, complete supply.”
Staff have been with out a collective settlement since Dec. 31, 2023.
