Negotiations continue for Local 514 and maritime employers as CIRB concludes hearing

Despite securing a strike mandate from its members, the International Longshore and Warehouse Union (ILWU) Local 514 has not issued a strike notice as both sides in the labour dispute express a desire to reach an agreement. 

The Canada Industrial Relations Board (CIRB) has concluded its hearing on the ILWU’s pay and manning proposal, which the British Columbia Maritime Employers Association (BCMEA) has challenged as illegal and in bad faith.
