Today marks Day 4 of the BC Ports Labour Dispute, with members of ILWU having shut down ports up and down the coast of the province, including facilities in Prince Rupert.
Prince Rupert port workers, like members around the province, walked off the job at 8 AM on Canada Day, setting up picket lines at all entrances to marine terminal locations in the city.
The weekend was one of talks on Saturday, a break on Sunday and an impasse on Monday; with the employer, BCMEA declaring that there is a need for the ILWU to change its course for negotiations to resume, the management side advising they had 'gone as far as possible on core issues.'

For the union side of the labour dispute, the 'lack of meaningful engagement on substantive issues' has framed the last few months and days since the strike action bean as to how they see the current situation.
