Shipping containers are moved in the Port of Montreal, Monday, Sept. 30, 2024. Port of Montreal longshore workers have started a three-day strike at two terminals.
A lockout at the Port of Montreal began Sunday evening. The CEO of the Montreal Port Authority said the labour dispute will disrupt the Canadian economy if it doesn't get resolved. If the lockout of dockworkers in Montreal persists, there will be "catastrophic" consequences for the Canadian economy, particularly in Quebec and Ontario, the local port authority warns.
The dockworkers overwhelmingly rejected the offer, with 99.7 per cent of members voting against it, according to a spokesperson for the Canadian Union of Public Employees. "Today, the lockout affects the logistics chain. Tomorrow, it'll be the factories. After that, it'll be the retailers."Montreal dockworkers join string of labour disruptionsRoughly 1,200 dockworkers at the Port of Montreal rejected a deal Sunday evening, triggering a lockout at Canada's second-busiest port. It added to a string of labour disruptions including a lockout at the Port of Vancouver and a looming Canada Post strike.
