The negotiations with Local 502 are the first of the three.

The strike notice states that the members of Local 502 will commence strike action against Westshore commencing at or about 1200 hours on September 16, 2022 . That stoppage 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 . While strike notice has been served, the parties remain in contact and continue to have the assistance of the mediator.

Update information will be provided as warranted.
