BCMEA Negotiations Updates

FMCS Mediation Concludes Without Resolution

This evening the BCMEA and ILWU Local 514 met with the assistance of the Federal Mediation and Conciliation Service (FMCS) in Vancouver. The Parties met separately with the FMCS and, based on the discussions that transpired, there was no progress made. On that basis, the FMCS concluded the mediation, and no further meetings are scheduled.  

The BCMEA has been working in good faith for nearly two years to seek an agreement that is beneficial for B.C.’s waterfront workforce and Canada’s supply chain.  

We will continue to provide updates as appropriate.
