Labour Minister Seamus O'Regan is under renewed pressure to bring an end to a revived strike by port workers in British Columbia, now that the workers' union has given notice of plans to return to the picket lines this weekend after being told their latest job action was "unlawful."
This high-level dedicated panel of cabinet ministers and senior officials is the federal government's dedicated emergency committee that meets in the event of national crises or events that have major implications for the country. ILWU Canada President Rob Aston said in a statement that their strike is just a continuance of the legal strike position since July 1 and that workers "suspended picketing at the request of the minister of labour" while the ILWU considered the mediator-suggested collective agreement settlement terms. The union plans to appeal the labour board's decision.
"Clearly this fair and equitable package wasn’t enough for the ILWU internal leadership, and they chose to instead remain entrenched in their position with little regard to the lives and jobs they are impacting," said the BCMEA Tuesday.Prior to the latest chain of events, O'Regan and Transport Minister Omar Alghabra said they were looking at all options to bring the strike to an end.
"At the end of the day, what the government needs to do is put the public interest ahead of everything else. This is damaging communities right across the country. It's driving up costs for individual Canadians, and it's damaging businesses," Beatty said. "This has gone on too long, and a solution must be found," Anderson said. "We are once again renewing our call to the federal government and all elected representatives to utilize all their available tools to find a lasting resolution and to identify measures that ensure the future stability of our ports and supply chains."
