After nearly two weeks of failed negotiations, Federal Labour Minister Seamus O'Regan is intervening in the B.C. port worker’s strike that’s crippling the country’s economy.

Once O’Regan has received the terms from the mediator, he will forward them to both sides. They’ll then have until 5 p.m. Thursday to decide whether to ratify the deal. The board launched a live “Port Shutdown Calculator” estimation tool Wednesday morning to illustrate the significant impact of the labour disruption on Canada’s west coast ports.

7,400 members of the International Longshore and Warehouse Union Canada have been on strike since July 1st, halting cargo in and out of 30 ports in B.C.
