# Port of Vancouver truck drivers strike averted after agreement reached  - Powell River Peak

> A planned container truck strike at two companies serving the Port of Vancouver, scheduled for Friday, was called off after Unifor reached a deal with Prudential Transportation at the deadline. Aheer Transportation had signed earlier. The agreements cover health and insurance coverage and higher waiting-time payments, and the union said the strike would have affected about 10% of vehicles serving the port.
