Westshore Terminals received 72-hour strike notice from ILWU Local 502 on September 13th with strike action to commence as early as 1200 hours on September 16, 2022. The previous collective agreement and those of the two other ILWU Locals at the terminal expired January 31, 2022. The negotiations with Local 502 are the first of the three and the strike activity would result in the complete suspension of operations at the terminal. Negotiations have involved conciliation/mediation under the Federal Labour Code since March 29, 2022. The terminal advises that while strike notice has been served, the parties remain in contact and continue to have the assistance of the mediator. As of noon today, no strike activity has been reported.
