Dock foremen and women in British Columbia issued a strike notice for Monday Nov. 4, setting up a complete shutdown of Canada’s busiest port, a business group said.

The written notice sets up a complete shutdown of BCMEA company operations at Canada’s West Coast ports starting on Monday at 8 a.m. Pacific time. The walk out would include Canada’s busiest port — Vancouver. “We are calling for immediate action by the federal government to intervene,” van Hemmen said in a statement.
A 13-day strike by more than 7,000 longshore workers caused large-scale disruption at Canada’s west coast ports last year, and the North American transportation and logistics sectors have continued to be hit by labor disputes this year.
