CUPE: Liberals Must Respect Free and Fair Bargaining at Port of Montreal
April 26, 2021 GMT
OTTAWA, Ontario (BUSINESS WIRE) Apr 26, 2021
Canada’s largest union, the Canadian Union of Public Employees (CUPE), is slamming the federal government’s decision to introduce back-to-work legislation to end labour action at the Port of Montreal by CUPE Local 375.
Members of Local 375, which represents 1,100 longshoremen at the port, voted 99 per cent in favour of strike action two weeks ago, after their employer, the Maritime Employers Association (MEA), announced that job security provisions in their collective agreement would no longer be honoured. More recently, the MEA imposed scheduling changes including an additional 100 minutes per shift. The union offered to withdraw their strike notice if the MEA agreed to end their pressure tactics – but the MEA refused.
