Port truck drivers that serve Canada’s largest port are again threatening to stop working, while port officials are threatening to remove access for trucking companies that don’t treat drivers fairly.
Drayage drivers are concerned that trucking companies are already undercutting the newly agreed upon pay rates.
Port Metro Vancouver and the British Columbia Ministry of Transportation jointly launched a whistle-blower hotline that truckers can call or email when companies don’t pay the contractually-bound rates.
