Industrial Board Orders Trigon to Halt Contractor Work During Ongoing Longshore Strike at Prince Rupert Port
The board said Trigon benefited by shifting LPG duties to contractors while the strike continued and ordered the company to stop within 48 hours.
- The Canada Industrial Relations Board ordered Trigon Pacific Terminals to cease using contractors for LPG work, ruling the company violated the Canada Labour Code; Trigon has yet to comment.
- An Oct 20 Board decision dismissed Trigon's bad-faith bargaining complaint and declared the strike, which began Oct 2, lawful.
- Trigon used contractors to handle LPG duties, a practice the Board found benefited the company by allowing limited non-union employees to focus on coal operations.
- Within 48 hours of the Oct 27 order, Trigon must stop using contractors for specified duties unless the union agrees otherwise.
- ILWU Local 523 remains prepared to negotiate a settlement, maintaining that any agreement must address fair compensation and respect members' rights.
