The Maritime Employers Association confirmed that a strike began Monday at 7 a.m. ET with about 350 longshore workers participating at two terminals.
The union representing the longshore workers emphasized that their contract with the Maritime Employers Association expired on December 31, 2023, prompting their action.
Despite attempts to mediate and an emergency meeting with the Canada Industrial Relations Board, the Maritime Employers Association was unable to prevent the strike.
After unsuccessful weekend negotiations, dockworkers at the Port of Montreal initiated picketing as the three-day strike commenced, marking a critical labor dispute.
