☆ Dock workers at key Canadian ports reject labor deal, creating further trade uncertainty

Bloomberg | Bloomberg | Getty ImagesOverseas trade entering North America through key ports on Canada's West Coast faces more uncertainty after dock workers rejected a tentative labor deal late Friday. Canadian Minister of Labor Seamus O'Reagan, in a Twitter post Saturday, said ports in British Columbia need stability after the 14 days of strikes. "The vessel was delayed by several weeks and now the rail-bound containers sit at the Ports of Vancouver and Prince Rupert." For the third week in a row, rail traffic from Canada into the U.S. is down following the on-again, off-again western Canadian ports strike. The first two weeks of the labor strike prevented over 80% of rail trade from entering the United States.

☆ Canadian West Coast ports strike is over, but it will take weeks for supply chain to recover

Darryl Dyck | Bloomberg | Getty ImagesThe strike at the Canada's West Coast ports is over, after both the labor union and port ownership accepted a deal presented by federal mediators. ILWU Canada union workers were expected to be back on the job for the 4:30 p.m. Pacific time shift on Thursday, but undoing the damage to the supply chain from close to two weeks of strike will take weeks. While the production ramp down at the ports was seen immediately, the congestion as a result of the 13-day strike will have a lasting effect on ports. The International Longshoremen and Warehouse Union of Canada begin its strike on July 1. The ports strike has already damaged the U.S. supply chain.

☆ $19 billion in trade stranded on water as Canada's West Coast labor negotiations hit pause
  + stars: | 2023-07-05 | by ( Lori Ann Larocco | ) www.cnbc.com   time to read: +2 min
The BCMEA said on Monday that the ILWU Canada "seems to have entrenched their positions," rather than working for an equitable deal. The ILWU Canada statement said the government gave a 7% increase in minimum wage recognizing the high cost of living. As a result of the strike, Canada's western ports have not serviced any vessels since June 30. This is creating a backlog in trade with a total of 29 ports on Canada's West Coast at a standstill. Included in this labor strife are the ports of Vancouver and Prince Rupert which collectively process and move almost 20% of U.S. trade.
