Update:
CSL will go on strike on June 2, 2017 at 1400. However, the Union is going to make sure CSL gets any cargo currently on board unloaded by Union crew members. The crew will then make sure that the ship is in an acceptable layup dock. Note, they can't layup in an American dock, so CSL can leave a Canadian dock where they unloaded, and take the ship to an American dock to load. For example, a ship unloading stone in Windsor can then go to Duluth, load, unload in Nanticoke and then go to Sarina to start the strike.
Many crew members were scheduled to start their Holidays on Friday, but can't because of the strike. One needs to wonder now why the Union is not following it's own practices, and making crews stay on days after they call a strike.
Company has checked with other sailors, including cadets
who aren't currently working and all have refused to cross the picket lines.
