The strike had affected more than 120 vessels carrying over 635,000 metric tons of cargo.
A key shipping channel bordering the U.S. and Canada is reopening on Monday after shutting down for nearly a week amid a labor strike—a relief for the many businesses and industries whose goods were stuck at ports for days.
The deal brought to an end the strike that began on Oct. 22 over wage disputes. “We will begin to implement our recovery program immediately and will start passing ships progressively as of Monday Oct. 30, with the return-to-work of employees at 07:00 a.m.,” SLSMC said in a Sunday statement. “I am so proud of the unity of our members along the Seaway as they joined together to secure better wages and working conditions for all,” said Daniel Cloutier, Unifor Quebec director in a Sunday statement.
Despite the small number of people on the picket line—compared with the thousands of UAW members of the auto industry—the Seaway workers’ strike had a significant impact on the U.S. and Canada economy as millions of dollars worth of goods were stuck at ports.
