# BC Federation of Labour weighs in as Trigon strike in Prince Rupert stretches into second month

> The BC Federation of Labour issued a hot edict asking other unions not to handle coal, petcoke and liquid petroleum gas moving through Trigon Pacific Terminals in Prince Rupert. The International Longshore and Warehouse Union has been on strike there since October 2, and the Industrial Labour Board recently ordered Trigon to stop using contract workers for union tasks.

## Why it matters

The terminal handles coal, petcoke and LPG rather than feed grains or oilseeds, so the strike has little direct effect on feed ingredient supply or prices.
