Montreal Port Operations Resuming After Government Intervention

Federal order ends lockout, aiming to stabilize disrupted supply chains over the coming weeks.

The Canada Industrial Relations Board has mandated the resumption of operations at the Port of Montreal starting Saturday at 7 a.m.
The lockout involved nearly 1,200 dockworkers after a contract offer was rejected, halting operations since Sunday.
Federal Labour Minister Steven MacKinnon intervened, directing the dispute to binding arbitration to ensure operations restart.
The Maritime Employers Association has agreed to comply with the order, allowing activities at all port terminals to resume.
It is expected to take several weeks to fully restore the supply chain's fluidity for both imports and exports.
