VANCOUVER — The union representing foremen at British Columbia's ports say members have voted overwhelmingly to authorize strike action if necessary in an ongoing labour dispute with port employers.
VANCOUVER — The union representing foremen at British Columbia's ports say members have voted overwhelmingly to authorize strike action if necessary in an ongoing labour dispute with port employers.
But the Canada Industrial Relations Board said the union can't bargain with DP World alone, which the union says forced members to take an industry-wide vote. The B.C. Maritime Employers Association says in an update that it has made offers "over the last 16 months … that would have resulted in a competitive and balanced deal to ILWU Local 514 members" with "significant gains in wages and benefits without any concession requests from employers."
Morena says the employers responded to a counter-offer by the union by filing a complaint with the Canada Industrial Relations Board, necessitating the union's vote to authorize strike action.
