The MEA said yesterday 31 Oct “Discussions over the past few hours have
failed to bring the union back to the table in a constructive manner.
“The longshoremen’s union
is therefore preparing to launch an unlimited general strike at the Viau and
Maisonneuve terminals operated by TerMont, starting at 11am on Thursday. “This pressure tactic will quickly lead to
major operational upheavals, jeopardising the operations of several companies,
as well as the financial health of the MEA, which is already coping with
declining volumes.”
The association has gone
back to the minister of labour, Steven MacKinnon, and again asked him to appoint
a special mediator – a proposal previously rejected. The MEA said a
special mediator could be tasked to help the parties reach an agreement by 3
December. “It is clear that the
parties are currently at an impasse. The MEA is appealing for the government to
appoint a special mediator to break the deadlock in negotiations as soon as
possible.”
The Montreal longshoremen
have been without a collective labour agreement since the end of December 2023.
The Canadian Union of Public Employees (CUPE) closed the port of Montreal for a
dockworkers meeting on Sunday, and on
Monday28 Oct gave 72-hour’ notice of the strike.
