Trudeau says pressure is on to end B.C. port strike, on day 7 of stoppage
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau says the federal government will continue putting pressure on both sides to end the British Columbia port strike, as the stoppage drags on for a seventh day.
Trudeau said the best deals are made at the bargaining table, and he knows that “a solution is out there.” Opposition members of the British Columbia Legislature added their voices to business and political groups demanding action to end the strike. The employers association, which represents 49 firms operating out of B.C. ports, issued a statement Thursday that said it had learned of layoffs in related industries due to the job action.The B.C. Council of Forest Industries was also calling for federal intervention, or for dock workers and port employers to reach a quick resolution.
