> Montreal employers submitted a final offer of a 20% raise over six years and said they would lock out the CUPE 375 union from November 10 absent agreement. The union has halted container handling at two Termont facilities, which account for 40% of the port's box capacity. Employers in British Columbia have also locked out dockworkers at Vancouver and Prince Rupert.
