Canada: Port of Montreal Labor Strike
As of October 31, at 11 A.M., the Longshoremen’s Union, CUPE Local 375, is on unlimited labor strike action at the Port of Montreal’s two Termont terminals (two of the four container terminals at the Port). Bulk grain handling activities remain unaffected by the current and proposed strike actions as they are protected under the Canada Labour Code. Post expects a slowdown of exports of containerized agri-food and commodities (lentils, pork, soybeans). Food and fresh produce (e.g. fruits, wine, processed food and drinks) will be directly impacted.
