Unifor, which represents some 360 workers, issued a strike notice, saying seaway workers were ready to strike as of midnight Saturday
The organization employing workers at the St. Lawrence Seaway says there has been little progress in labour negotiations with a major union just hours before workers are poised to walk off the job.
A potential halt would likely affect cargo shipments immediately along the St. Lawrence corridor, which runs between Montreal and Lake Erie and carried $16.7 billion worth of cargo last year. It says workers have negotiated salary increases over the past 20 years and now take home wages that are 10 per cent ahead of inflation.
