The fate of operations at West Coast ports in Canada will be decided on Tuesday, July 25, when rank-and-file members of the International Longshoremen and Warehouse Union Canada will vote on a tentative deal with port ownership.
The plan to send the deal to a full union vote comes after a week of confusion and turmoil at the ports.
For the vote, work will stop from 8 a.m.-4 p.m. Pacific Time on Tuesday across all ports.
Weekly rail trade data aggregated by the American Association of Railroads reveals a total decrease of 82.4% in rail trade over the course of the 13-day strike.
When the first strike ended on its thirteenth day, delays for rail containers were estimated at 39 to 66 days.
