Over 99% of the International Longshore and Warehouse Union Canada voted to support a strike as ILWU issues on the US West Coast have raised supply chain fears.
In a landslide vote, 99.24% of ILWU Canada voted in favor of supporting a strike, but the earliest date a strike can occur is June 24.
The strike vote comes as U.S. West Coast ports have been hampered by ILWU worker issues amid challenging contract talks, and is a "significant blow" to West Coast trade stability, according to a logistics expert, with potential repercussions for many U.S. industries including Midwestern manufacturers and the auto industry.
The vote, which took place on June 9-June 10, occurred during a 21-day cooling-off period between the British Maritime Employers Association and ILWU Canada. Negotiations with the Federal Maritime Conciliation Service started on March 28. Two mediators appointed by the Canadian government were overseeing the discussions that ran through the end of May.
