About 150 ILWU Local 523 longshore workers have been on strike at Trigon Pacific Terminals on Ridley Island in Prince Rupert since October 2. Canada's labour board has ruled in the union's favour several times, including declaring the strike lawful and ordering Trigon to stop using contractors for striking workers' jobs.
The terminal ships coal and petroleum coke, and there is no sign of a return to bargaining.
The terminal handles coal and petcoke rather than feed grains, so the direct effect on feed supply is small. Prolonged labour disruption at a Canadian Pacific port could still add to logistics risk for bulk exports.
