Union serves notice of strike action beginning at 4:30 p.m. on Monday
VANCOUVER — The B.C. Maritime Employers Association has requested urgent intervention by the Canada Industrial Relations Board to divert a looming strike by a union representing ship and dock foremen.
It said that came despite the Canada Industrial Relations Board starting hearings to address complaints between it and the union. The employers association said if the board allows the strike to proceed, it will have “no choice” but to take defensive action in the form of an industry-wide lockout. “This coastwide lockout, should it be required, will shut down all cargo operations of BCMEA member companies across the province, but will not affect cruise operations nor interrupt longshoring operations on grain vessels,” the association said. It called on ILWU Local 514 to withdraw its strike notice and let the dispute process conclude at the Canada Industrial Relations Board.
