Breaking: Federal Labour Minister Seamus O’Regan says B.C. port workers strike 'illegal'
VANCOUVER—Federal Labour Minister Seamus O’Regan declared Wednesday that the surprise return of a port workers’ strike in B.C.’s biggest city is “illegal,” as the government won’t rule out using back-to-work legislation to end the disruptive labour dispute.
“Don’t signal in any way that you’re going to bring in back-to-work legislation, because that’s going to undermine the workers,” he said. “All workers deserve salaries to help them afford their rents and put food on the table. That’s what we believe in and that’s what we’re supporting.” “I always want a fair deal to the workers, a fair deal for the taxpayers, and hopefully they can put this to bed today,” Ford said.Canada Labour Code
“Our position since day one has been to protect our jurisdiction and this position has not changed,” the statement said. The vast majority of ports in the province ground to a halt for 13 days earlier this month after the union, which represents 7,400 workers at more than 30 terminals around the province, began a strike after negotiations hit an impasse.Sticking points in the labour dispute with the BC Maritime Employers Association were wages, automation and contracting out work. The association released a statement slamming the union leadership for rejecting the deal.
