Tentative deal reached to end strike at Canada's Pacific ports

  • A tentative 4-year deal was reached between employers and workers to end a 13-day strike at Canada's Pacific coast ports.
  • The strike had disrupted trade at the Port of Vancouver and Port of Prince Rupert, two of Canada's busiest ports.
  • With the strike now ended, the supply chain is expected to take weeks to fully recover from the disruptions caused.
  • The strike is estimated to have disrupted over C$6.5 billion worth of cargo movement through the ports.
  • The tentative deal still requires ratification, but ends a strike that had impacted rail traffic and various economic sectors.
