The operator of a British Columbia port sued the United Steelworkers and the province’s labor federation, alleging that picketing and a “hot edict” disrupted port operations. The dispute has affected rail deliveries of grain, diesel and sulfur, and the operator is seeking damages and an injunction against the picketing.
Labor action disrupting rail deliveries could delay grain and other commodity flows through the port, tightening nearby availability and potentially increasing freight costs. The extent of any price impact depends on how long the disruption lasts.
