Montreal Dockworkers to Cease Overtime Amid Stalled Contract Talks

The union representing 1,200 workers at the Port of Montreal plans an indefinite overtime strike to pressure management in ongoing negotiations.

The overtime strike is set to begin at 7 a.m. ET on Thursday, with no end date specified.
Union spokesman Michel Murray accuses the Maritime Employers Association of delaying negotiations.
Scheduling conflicts are a major issue in the current bargaining sessions, which have resumed under federal mediation.
Last week's three-day strike affected two terminals responsible for 41% of the port's container traffic.
Dockworkers have been working without a contract since December 31, highlighting the urgency of the negotiations.
