Canadian labor minister meets with provincial counterpart in day five of Canada’s port strike

Written by

Canadian Labor Minister Seamus O’Regan met with his provincial counterpart, British Columbia Labor Minister Harry Bains, in Vancouver on Wednesday to discuss the country’s west coast port strike.
On Tuesday, both the International Longshoremen and Warehouse Union and the British Columbia Maritime Employers Association said they were pausing negotiations — each blaming the other for the standstill.
An estimated $19 billion in trade is stranded off the ports of Vancouver and Prince Rupert as a result of the strike.
