Montreal Port Authority warns of consequences amid labour dispute

The Montreal Port Authority (MPA) is sounding the alarm on the severe economic consequences of a prolonged labour disruption at the port. On Sunday night, the Port of Montreal locked out 1,200 longshoremen, amplifying already strained relations between the Maritime Employers Association (MEA) and the Port of Montreal longshore workers’ union CUPE Local 375. Shipping lines are already diverting their vessels to other East Coast ports.
