After holding a 24-hour strike on Sunday, dockworkers at the Port of Montreal have decided to continue their pressure tactics with a general strike<\/a> at two terminals.<\/p>\n

The union representing nearly 1,200 longshore workers at the country\u2019s second biggest port announced a job action will begin Thursday October 31 at 11 a.m. at the same two container terminals affected by a three-day strike earlier this month and continue until further notice.<\/p>\n

Workers with the Syndicat des d\u00e9bardeurs du port de Montr\u00e9al have also refused to work overtime shifts since Oct. 10.<\/p>\n

The union says the terminals that will be impacted by the unlimited strike starting Thursday are operated by Termont and are responsible for about 40 per cent of container traffic.<\/p>\n

Dockworkers have been without a collective agreement since Dec. 31, 2023, with issues including salaries, scheduling and work-life balance at the heart of negotiations.<\/p>\n

Earlier this month federal Labour Minister Steven MacKinnon proposed appointing a special mediator so the parties can resume negotiations without a lockout or strike for 90 days, but that offer was rejected.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
