The mediator in the Montreal port dispute between the Canadian Maritime Employers Association and Longshoremen's Local 375 concluded that no agreement was likely. The dispute moves to binding arbitration under the Canada Industrial Relations Board, with a deadline of April 7 for the parties to agree on terms.
Binding arbitration should reduce the risk of further strikes at Montreal, a key Canadian container and grain gateway, which lowers the chance of export delays and freight disruption.
