Business groups call on Ottawa to intervene as St. Lawrence Seaway strike begins

A container ship is loaded in the Port of Montreal on Sept. 19. Unifor says the St. Lawrence Seaway is poised to shut down as hundreds of workers walk off the job.Business groups urged the federal government to intervene to void a lengthy labour dispute at the St. Lawrence Seaway amid concerns that a strike that began early Sunday could have a profound affect on their members.

“It comes after the B.C. port strike, it comes after COVID-19 restrictions, it comes after a series of hits that businesses are having to deal with for the past couple of years and we’re hoping to see the federal government not to stay on the sidelines and not to wait for another 13 days of strikes like happened at the B.C. port strikes,” said Jasmin Guénette, vice president of national affairs at the CFIB.

“Particularly at this critical time, Canadians need stability in our supply chains,” the organization said in a statement. “We urge the Government of Canada to use all the tools in its tool box to solve this strike immediately.” The strike is expected to affect cargo shipments immediately along the artery that runs between Montreal and Lake Erie. The corporation was waiting for a response to its application to the Canada Industrial Relations Board, seeking an order to confirm the application of the Canada Labour Code related to the movement of grain during a strike.
