CFIB is asking the government to ensure that the St. Lawrence Seaway remains fully operational while negotiations continue.
OTTAWA — The Canadian Federation of Independent Business (CFIB) is concerned about the strike on the St. Lawrence Seaway, according to their press release statement.
Small businesses were affected by the long strike at BC ports and the supply chain disruptions it caused this summer.
“The last thing the Canadian economy needs right now is another strike blocking a busy trade route and impacting businesses once again,” reads the press release. “Strike-related delays like this one can result in lost sales, lost revenue and even the loss of inventory for affected businesses.”
CFIB is asking the government to ensure that the St. Lawrence Seaway remains fully operational while negotiations continue.
“CFIB is still calling to make federally regulated workers who are indispensable to the supply chain essential workers to avoid similar strikes in the future,” Jasmin Guénette, Vice-President, National Affairs, CFIB
