**MONTREAL DOCKWORKERS HOLD ONE DAY STRIKE TO PUT PRESSURE ON EMPLOYER**
**MONTREAL LONGSHOREMEN HAVE BEEN WITHOUT A COLLECTIVE AGREEMENT SINCE DECEMBER 31, 2023**
**STRIKE DIRECTLY IMPACTS ILA LOCAL 1657 CLERKS AND CHECKERS**
From ILA Atlantic Coast District Vice President Albert Batten, Port of Montreal:
“On Sunday, October 27, 2024, The Canadien Union of Public Employees (CUPE) closed the Port of Montreal for a dockworkers meeting.
On Monday, October 28, 2024 they gave a 72 hour notice for a strike against Termont Terminals that will start on Thursday, October 31, 2024 at 11am.
This strike directly impacts ILA Local 1657 Clerks and Checkers, who continue to show solidarity to CUPE 375.
—————————————————————
The following was shared to us by Morgan Lowrie, The Canadian Press Staff:
Dockworkers at the Port of Montreal walked off the job early Sunday for a one-day strike aimed at putting pressure on their employer amid difficult contract talks.
The union representing nearly 1,200 longshore workers at the country’s second biggest port served notice Thursday for a complete work stoppage from 7 a.m. Sunday until Monday morning.
The move comes on top of an ongoing strike on overtime shifts and a three-day strike at two container terminals that ended earlier this month.
The Maritime Employers Association says the work stoppage includes the Montreal port and the Contrecoeur terminal, but activities related to grain vessels and the supply of Newfoundland and Labrador will be maintained in line with a July decision of the Canadian Industrial Relations Board.
A spokesperson for the union said the striking workers were holding a special general assembly Sunday morning.
This report by The Canadien Press was first published on October 27, 2024.

ILA, Ignorant Lazy Asses. Pathetic traitors strike after a major disaster. No excuse for their Pathetic actions. Can't wait for automation to take their jobs. After every big strike comes major lay offs, that's a fact.

North Carolina
ILA MEMBERS COME TOGETHER TO GIVE BACK TO COMMUNITIES IN NORTH CAROLINA AFTER THE DEVASTATION CAUSED BY HURRICANE HELENE
During these challenging times, North Carolina remains strong, supported by the dedicated efforts of the International Longshoremen’s Association.
As we come together to rebuild and recover, our hope and resilience prove to be steadfast.
The ILA recognizes and extends our gratitude to ILA Local 1422 members Derrick Holmes, Shaune Middleton, Reginald Boatwright, Marion Green Jr, ILA International Vice President Kenny Riley, ILA International Vice President Virgil Maldonado and ILA Local 1804-1 Business Agent Billy Hartigan for all their hard work and commitment as they traveled to North Carolina to help unload the containers filled with products for the communities of North Carolina.
A Heartfelt thank you goes to Mary Webb and her family who exemplify faith in action by opening their home to support the surrounding communities who were devastated in the aftermath of Hurricane Helene. These families have lost everything, leaving them with no running water, no electricity and no food. Together, we demonstrate the power of unity as we help one another in times of need.
The ILA would like to thank CaraVan, Mike Cara and Jason Cara and TMX Intermodal, Fernando Rodrigues, and driver Amaro Folia, for providing the containers and shipping the goods down to North Carolina to help so many that are in need of assistance.
The containers were filled with goods and necessities last week by ILA members at APM Terminals in Port Elizabeth, NJ and were then driven down to North Carolina by the trucking companies and were unloaded by ILA members as well.
Special thanks to Elise Hartigan and Leah Guerrini for all your assistance in creating this powerful video.
Thank You!!

Thank you for all you are doing to help our communities affected by Hurricane Helene! We are so thankful for your generosity and the chance to work with all of you to get the needed supplies to over 5 counties in Western North Carolina! Thank you!
Great job! Thank you for organizing and seeing this through. Everyone involved helped bring some relief to all those people in need. It’s amazing what can be done when people come together for a good cause. I.L.A. Proud 💪
A simple thank you seems like so little. This magnified by the voices of a 100000 I hope rings true from us to all of you
Thank you♥️🙏
Class acts!!

have my grand fathers hook hanging in the house from the 40s
I retired 4 years ago and still have mine. Made some money working lose rubber with them.
The new hires today don’t know about these old school tools.
I have my Great Grandfathers and used them when I first started on Cocoa beans and loose rubber
I’ve got three of them hanging in the garage’n
Still got mine, given to me by my Father, thanks Dad! Got bean hooks too, I threw a lot of beans!💪🏻
Still using it on rice.
As the dispatchers would say bring your hooks
