Dockworkers at the Port of Montreal will vote later this month on an agreement with the port’s Maritime Employers Association on a six-year contract.
No date has been set for the vote by Local 375 of the Canadian Union of Public Employees. About 1,000 union members have been working under an extension of a contract that expired at year-end.
Local 375’s contract is separate from the coastwide agreement between the International Longshoremen’s Association and United States Maritime Alliance at U.S. East and Gulf Coast ports.
