VANCOUVER, BC, Dec. 16, 2020 /CNW/ - Westshore Terminals
Investment Corporation (TSX: WTE) announces that on December 16, 2020 its wholly-owned subsidiary
Westshore Terminals Limited Partnership ("Westshore") received 72
hour strike notice from Local 502 of the International Longshore
and Warehouse Union ("ILWU"), pertaining to Westshore's coal export
terminal at Roberts Bank, British Columbia. Westshore has
been in negotiations for several months with Local 502 for a new
collective agreement. The previous collective agreement and
those of the two other ILWU Locals at the terminal expired
January 31, 2020. The
negotiations with Local 502 are the first of the three.
The strike notice states that the members of Local 502 will stop
work at the terminal site on Saturday,
December 19, 2020. That stoppage would result in the
complete suspension of operations at the terminal.
Negotiations have involved conciliation under the Federal Labour
Code since September 16, 2020.
Further talks are scheduled between Westshore and Local 502.
