Vancouver Truck Dispute Ends

(Journal of Commerce)

Drivers reach agreement with three companies

Container truck drivers at Port Metro Vancouver reached an agreement that will avoid a threatened strike.

Approximately 140 drivers had voted for a strike against three associated trucking companies. Instead, they resolved the dispute, which was about fees to be paid for moving containers between the port and off-dock storage sites, Bob Simpson, owner of the three companies, told the Vancouver Sun.
