A bargaining agreement will soon be within reach to end a dispute between striking Canadian dock workers and their employers, Labour Minister Seamus O'Regan said on Tuesday.
About 7,500 port workers have been on strike since July 1 to press for higher wages, disrupting operations at the key ports of Vancouver and Prince Rupert, at a cost to trade estimated by an industry body to run into $377 million each day.
The talks between the British Columbia Maritime Employers Association and Warehouse Union Canada had resumed last week after a gap of four days, supported by federal mediators. Upon receiving them, he will send them to the parties, with a deadline of 24 hours to decide on ratification, he added.
