Management at the Port of Montreal says operations are scheduled to resume Saturday after being disrupted by a labor dispute.
The Port Authority has confirmed that the Canada Industrial Relations Board has ordered operations to resume at 7 a.m.
But it also said it would take several weeks to fully restore liquidity to supply chains for both imports and exports.
On Sunday, operations at the port were greatly reduced when the Maritime Employers Association walked out about 1,200 longshore workers after a contract proposal was rejected.
Labor minister orders closure of BC, Montreal ports with binding arbitration
The union representing longshore workers had earlier called for an indefinite strike affecting the port’s two terminals on October 31.
On Tuesday, federal Labor Minister Steven MacKinnon intervened to end the dispute, asking the Canada Industrial Relations Board to order a resumption of operations and transferring negotiations to binding arbitration.
