A statement from the union offered no details on the new deal but said both sides are encouraging union members and member employers to ratify the agreement.
The Canadian PressThe two sides of a labour dispute involving 30 port terminals in B.C. announced Sunday they had reached a third tentative collective agreement after two previous ones had failed to be approved by union members.The International Longshore and Warehouse Union Canada and B.C.
The dispute over a new collective agreement saw workers strike from July 1 to 13, stalling billions of dollars worth of cargo from moving in or out of 30 port terminals and other sites, including some of the country's busiest ports.
Before the new agreement was reached, union president Rob Ashton said in a letter Sunday that workers looked "forward to resuming discussions and finding common ground for the betterment of the Canadian supply chain and the livelihoods of its workforce." Parties including Alberta Premier Danielle Smith, the Business Council of Canada and the Canadian Federation of Independent Business all urged the federal government to legislate an end to the dispute if it continued.
