Strike continues in Canadian ports; federal mediators to intervene in negotiations

The strike of the International Longshore and Warehouse Union (ILWU) Canada is still underway, as the negotiations have not come to an agreement yet.

ILWU Canada commenced legal strike action against the British Columbia Maritime Employers Association (BCMEA) on 1 July.

The discussions and negotiations between the two organisations never stopped but have no positive development yet. Negotiations are currently paused, pending further discussion with federal mediators.

However, any government action might require five days (est.) to enact and another two days for labor to be called back to work.
