VANCOUVER — Prime Minister Justin Trudeau says the federal government is"dismayed" that an agreement to end the job action at British Columbia's ports was rejected by the longshore union leadership.
The stability of work at B.C. ports, key West Coast gateways for imports and exports, has been in flux since the leadership caucus of the International Longshore and Warehouse Union Canada rejected the mediator's terms on Tuesday, briefly sending workers back to picket lines. Earlier this week, Alghabra said in a joint statement with Labour Minister Seamus O'Regan that the federal government was considering"all options" to resolve the dispute after the union rejected the tentative deal. But on Thursday Alghabra said the clear preference is for the parties to reach a deal at the negotiating table.
B.C. Premier David Eby echoed the sentiment of wanting employers and the union to return to the table. He said the ongoing uncertainty is hurting the workers, the ports and Canada's economy. Trudeau convened a meeting of the government's incident response group on Wednesday to discuss the situation, in a move reserved for moments of national crisis.
