Labour protests at U.S. East Coast ports called off

Toronto, March 10, 2017

Union leaders representing workers at U.S. East Coast ports have postponed labour protests and are now planning for “emergency talks” with U.S. congress. The key issue is hiring practices at various ports that the union says has resulted in lost jobs.

We will continue to monitor this situation and update accordingly.
