The B.C. Federation of Labour issued a hot edict asking affiliated unions not to handle specified coal, petroleum coke and LPG products crossing the picket line at Trigon Pacific Terminals in Prince Rupert.
ILWU Local 523A has been on strike since 2 October over wages, benefits and working conditions.
The strike affects a niche bulk terminal that handles coal, petcoke and LPG rather than feed grains or oilseeds, so direct effects on feed commodity flows are minimal. It is a minor logistics signal for Canadian West Coast port capacity.
