Canadian West Coast Labor Union Resumes Strike, Threatening Canada's Economy

The International Longshoremen and Warehouse Union (ILWU) in Canada has called off its strike after a day of on-again, off-again strikes. The strike notice was initially announced, then withdrawn, and later reinstated. The strike has caused turmoil in logistics and trade, with delays in supply chains and disruptions to global trade. The Canadian government is evaluating options to resolve the labor turmoil, while logistics managers and trade experts express concerns about the impact on the supply chain. The strike has led to delays in rail trade, congestion at ports, and increased costs for consumers. The ILWU and the British Columbia Maritime Employers Association have been in negotiations over wage increases and job protection.
