MONTREAL, April 26 (Reuters) - Dockworkers at Canada’s second-largest port on Monday began their second strike in less than a year, as business leaders urged Ottawa to quickly end a walkout they said could cost the economy C$25 million ($20 million) a day.

Unionized workers, in talks for a new contract since 2018, started a partial strike last week and warned they were prepared to walk off the job completely to protest changes to their work schedule.

More than 220 million people have been fully vaccinated against the disease, according to Our World in Data. Almost a billion have had at least one dose.
