Most British Columbia port terminals will shut down on November 4 due to a labor dispute between the union representing 700 forepersons and the B.C. Maritime Employers Association. The International Longshore and Warehouse Union Local 514 has issued a 72-hour strike notice, which will affect freight shipments through Vancouver and Prince Rupert ports, likely diverting international intermodal traffic bound for the Midwest. This comes on the heels of a recent strike that had already impacted operations this summer.
