MONTREAL By an almost unanimous vote March 21 longshore workers at the Port of Montreal rejected the latest “final” concession contract demands by the Maritime Employers Association. The online strike authorization vote by members of Canadian Union of Public Employees Local 375 was 1,020 to 2, with one abstention. Some 1,125 longshore workers are employed at the port.
A central issue is unsafe work schedules imposed by the bosses, where workers are forced to work 19 days out of 21. Union members going into work March 22 told the
Militant that this schedule is dangerous and wreaks havoc with their lives.
The vote came at the end of a seven-month truce agreed to by the union and the employers last August, after workers had gone on strike for 12 days over the work schedule, job security and other issues. The strike won widespread support among working people.
