After a seven-month truce following a 12-day strike last summer, Port of Montreal longshoremen rejected the employer’s final offer on Sunday. As the union says it is ready to resume negotiations, the Italian Chamber of Commerce in Canada is urging Canadian organizations and businesses to mobilize to prevent another strike.

Let us recall that a series of rotating strikes (from July 2 to 4, then from July 29 to August 1) followed by a general strike (from August 10 to 22) of dockers and controllers of the Port of Montreal took place on a total of 19 days in 2020 and had considerable economic and operational impacts on the Port of Montreal as well as on users and supply chains.
