By Vancouver Fraser Port Authority
We are writing to inform you about the labour action and lockout that could impact cargo movements through the Port of Vancouver in the coming days and the actions the Vancouver Fraser Port Authority is taking to help manage ship traffic ahead of—and during—the disruptions.
The Teamsters Canada Rail Conference served a 72-hour strike notice to Canadian Pacific Kansas City (CPKC) on Sunday. If an agreement is not reached in the next three days, labour action from railway workers will begin on August 22, 2024. CPKC and the Canadian National Railway (CN) also intend to lock workers out on this date unless an agreement is reached.
