Business groups are raising concerns about the broad effects of another round of labour disruptions in the transport sector as Canada faces shutdowns at its

two biggest ports.

The disruptions will have more immediate effects on manufacturers relying on critical parts coming into Canada, he said, while consumers will feel it if it drags on. “The parties must understand the urgency of the situation and do the work necessary to reach an agreement. Canadians are counting on them.”

Members voted 99.7 per cent to reject the proposal, said a spokesman for the Canadian Union of Public Employees. The union has said it will accept the same wage increases that were granted to its counterparts in Halifax or Vancouver — 20 per cent over four years. It is also concerned with scheduling and work-life balance.
