Over 700 foremen at British Columbia’s ports, represented by ILWU Local 514, plan to strike today, November 4, following a 72-hour notice issued in response to contract disagreements. The BC Maritime Employers Association (BCMEA) had offered a final contract, which the union rejected, citing concerns about automation and manpower requirements. With federal mediators involved, talks continue to avert a shutdown, which could echo last year’s costly 13-day strike and further disrupt Canada’s busiest port operations. #BCPorts #LabourStrike #TradeDisruption #SupplyChainManagement

BREAKING TRADE NEWS: The International Longshoremen's Association (ILA) has unexpectedly suspended talks with the United States Maritime Alliance (USMX) and has pledged to strike in October if a new deal is not finalized by September 30, 2024. This move has caught the logistics community off guard, as the union demands their fair share of profits. As the largest longshoreman union in North America, this ILA’s action could significantly disrupt logistics and supply chains, potentially leading to the diversion of shipments to the West Coast ports and other alternatives to avoid disruptions.

🚨Potential Border Delays Ahead Starting at 4pm ET on Friday, June 7th, PSAC member employees of the Border Services Group may go on strike if a new collective agreement isn't reached. Despite 90% of employees being required to provide essential services, operations should prepare for possible slowdowns at Canada’s borders. PSAC members, who have been without a contract for over two years, are negotiating for fair wages, telework options, equitable retirement benefits, and stronger workplace protections. Previous job actions have caused significant delays, and similar disruptions could occur again. Stay informed and plan to avoid potential border crossing delays. #CanadaBorders #PSAC #JunoCustomsSolutions
