Canada dockers and employers reach tentative deal for third time

Unionised dockworkers and their employers in British Columbia continued their ongoing disagreement over a new labour contract this past weekend, having reached a tentative agreement for the third time on Sunday.

The International Longshore & Warehouse (ILWU) Canada and the BC Maritime Employers Association (BCMEA) hammered out the most recent tentative deal on Sunday after the union refused on Friday to ratify a second tentative agreement.
