About 400 foremen could go on strike on Monday
British Columbia ’s ports may again be disrupted by a labour dispute, as employers say they have received 72-hour strike notice from the union representing foremen.
The two sides had been negotiating with the help of a federal mediator over three days this week to avoid the latest work stoppage, which would affect all ports in B.C.The strike would be the latest in a number of labour disruptions at the Port of Vancouver, the largest port in Canada. The dispute has been centred around one employer, DP World, and its manpower requirements as it relates to automation.
Earlier on Thursday, the employers said they believed their latest offer would “conclude negotiations in a manner that serves the best interest” of all parties involved.On Oct. 23, the Canada Industrial Relations Board ruled on complaints from both sides alleging negotiating in bad faith, dismissing the union’s claim, while partly agreeing with the employers’ complaint.
