Strike notice: Update on container handling at the Port of Montreal
Here is the last update we received regarding the strike notice affecting the Port of Montreal.
Dear customers and partners,
We would like to inform you that the Maritime Employers' Association has received strike notice beginning on Thursday July 2 at 3:00 p.m. and ending on Saturday July 4 at 6:59 a.m. Thus, 2 of the 19 terminals at the Port of Montreal, or 2 container terminals operated by MGTP, will be stopped during these two days.
These means of pressure, exercised by the Union of longshoremen, last 40 hours. Consequently, the Port of Montreal and its partners expect to be able to resume activities on Saturday July 4 at 7 a.m. Efforts will be made to make up for the delays caused by this exceptional situation.
The Montreal Port Authority is closely monitoring the situation and we hope that the employer of the longshoremen is the Maritime Employees Association, and the Union will be able to come to an agreement quickly.
In the meantime, be aware that we will keep you informed of any developments.
Tony Boemi
Vice President, Growth and Development
