The Canadian miner said the strike, lower global potash prices and other factors mean it will fall short of its previous guidance for adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization this year.The labour dispute, which began July 1, has forced Nutrien to cut back production at its Cory mine “and if prolonged could also impact production at our other potash mines in Saskatchewan,” chief executive Ken Seitz said in a statement.
Unionized U.S. dockworkers said Monday they won’t unload cargo that’s bound for Canada as a show of support for the striking port workers. ILWU members “will not be unloading Canadian-bound cargo in solidarity with our brothers and sisters in ILWU Canada,” Willie Adams, ILWU’s international president, said in a statement emailed by the union.
A move by U.S. dockworkers to refuse container ships that were rerouted from Vancouver would damage “the reliability and competitiveness of West Coast ports up and down the coast,” the BCMEA said in a release. The union and the employers met with federal mediators over the weekend, according to a statement. The BCMEA put forward a revised proposal with increased benefits for casual tradespeople, increased apprenticeships and a tool allowance, the employers’ group said on Saturday.
