Week-long Strike Affecting Great Lakes Shipping Artery Ends with New Agreement

"360 Unifor union workers strike over wages halted flow of goods between US and Canada, costing up to $100 million per day and disrupting supply chains; tentative deal ratified, operations to resume."

The week-long strike halting the flow of goods between the US and Canada on a major shipping artery in the Great Lakes has ended with a new tentative agreement.
Around 360 workers in Ontario and Quebec with Unifor, Canada’s largest private-sector union, had walked out in a dispute over wages with St. Lawrence Seaway Management Corp
The strike led to the shutdown of 13 locks on the seaway between Lake Erie and Montreal, disrupting traffic of ships in the Great Lakes, and is estimated to have caused a loss of up to $100 million per day in economic activity.
This was the first time that a strike has shut down the vital shipping artery since 1968, affecting not just domestic but also international shipping including oceangoing 'salties' and 'lakers'.
Ships will start moving again with workers returning to work at 7 a.m. Monday, and details of the new agreement will be shared with members and publicly ratified in the coming days.
