Just last year, a series of rotating strikes by dockworkers and checkers at the Port of Montreal caused 21 container ships to divert to other ports, while 80,000 20-foot equivalent units of containers were either grounded or rerouted. Several businesses that use Montreal’s port have already diverted containerized goods to other ports, including some that move “critical cargo” to combat Covid-19, MEA stated in February. The Canadian government has asked both sides to work toward an agreement, noting it “is keenly aware of the central role the Port of Montreal plays in movement of goods” to the most populated part of the country. If a contract is not settled by then, the longshoremen could strike at a port that data show handled 35 million metric tons of goods and commodities in 2020.

They have been summoned to meetings with mediators March 10, but for now, a truce is in effect until March 21. A potential strike by longshoremen at Eastern Canada’s biggest port could begin later this month, threatening to further disrupt shipments already hampered by a global container shortage.Ĭontract negotiations between the union that represents longshoremen at the Port of Montreal and the Maritime Employers Association, or MEA, has hit a snag.
