Port of Montreal terminal operators have threatened to shut down most operations as of Sunday after providing a “final, comprehensive offer” to the longshore union.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n If the Canadian Union of Public Employees Local 375 does not accept the offer by Sunday at 8:00 p.m. “only essential services and activities unrelated to longshoring will continue at the Port of Montr\u00e9al from 9 p.m. on Sunday,” the Maritime Employers Association said in a statement on Thursday.<\/p>\n So far, two terminals operated by Termont, representing about 40% of Montreal’s container traffic and 15% of total port volume, have been shut down by the union’s strike, which began on Oct. 31.<\/p>\n If the operators’ offer is not accepted, all longshoring at the port would be locked out, the association said, adding that its pay offer represented a “cumulative increase” of over 20% over six years.<\/p>\n A CUPE spokesperson said on Friday “an offer has been made and the union is looking at it.”<\/p>\n West Coast ports including Canada’s largest port of Vancouver have also been mostly shut down since Monday due to a labor dispute, impacting exports of canola oil and forest products. Bulk grain exports are not impacted.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n maritime professional<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
