ILWU Canada Contract Vote & Port Disruptions

On Friday, July 21^st, the ILWU caucus announced the approval of the tentative deal that it rejected earlier this week. It is expected that on the morning of July 25^th, rank-and-file members of ILWU Canada will be voting on this tentative contract. The British Columbia Maritime Employers Association (BCMEA) is optimistic about the deal’s approval. Past disruptions, including a brief strike and retracted notice, have added to the challenges faced by Vancouver and Prince Rupert ports, which are experiencing declining trade volumes. The specifics of the tentative agreement have not been disclosed publicly.
