VANCOUVER — Officials with the International Longshore and Warehouse Union say the association representing port employers on the British Columbia coast is more interested in what the union terms a 'dirty tricks campaign,' than in negotiating an end
VANCOUVER — Officials with the International Longshore and Warehouse Union say the association representing port employers on the British Columbia coast is more interested in what the union terms a"dirty tricks campaign," than in negotiating an end to a six-day strike.
About 7,400 members of the International Longshore and Warehouse Union have been off the job since Canada Day to back demands for improved wages and provisions against contracting out and automation. The association, which bargains on behalf of employers operating out of more than 30 ports, stepped away from talks on Monday and has said binding arbitration could quickly resolve the job action.
O'Regan met with his B.C. counterpart, Labour Minister Harry Bains, on Wednesday to discuss the strike, which has idled Canada's busiest port, in Vancouver, as well as the third busiest port, in Prince Rupert.
