This round of bargaining has been extremely difficult. In an attempt to reach a fair contract, we have undergone conciliation and have since been negotiating with the assistance of a mediator, with the last contract expiring on June 30, 2016.
These workers are vital to the waterway and its operation as a key shipping lane. We are very close to achieving a fair deal and could resolve the situation quickly if the employer addresses the few outstanding issues around pay and leave.
Workers need better pay and leave provisions
