OTTAWA, July 29 (Reuters) - Dock workers in western Canada have rejected a proposed labor contract that would have ended a dispute that has already impacted trade and could have more economic repercussions by disrupting operations at the country's busiest ports. "The membership of the ILWU Canada Longshore Division has said No to the terms of the settlement," the workers' union said in a statement early on Saturday and called on their direct employers to come to the table for negotiations.

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.

"The ILWU Canada Longshore Division has not taken this decision lightly, but for the future of our workforce we had to take this step," Ashton said in a post.
