Thunder Bay Port CEO states that a walkout of St. Lawrence Seaway workers has a residual effect on business.
It’s a residual effect as the St. Lawrence Seaway, which has work sites in Ontario and Quebec, shut down Sunday as a result of hundreds of workers walked off the job.
“The grain elevators would be ceasing up to load vessels as those vessels dry up in the system,” Heikkinen said. “There is a provision in the Canada Labour Code, and I know that the Canada Industrial Relations Board to seek a ruling on continuing the movement of grain. But we haven't heard the results of that ruling yet.”
The ruling efforts were filed on Sunday by the St. Lawrence Seaway Management Corporation to the Canada Industrial Relations Board to ensure that grain can continue to move through the Seaway.
