Longshore workers in Metro Vancouver will be taking limited job action starting Monday morning, but will not be putting up picket lines at the ports. While its members will undertake targeted job action, such as a ban on overtime, the union's goal is to keep the Global Container terminals in Delta and Vancouver open during negotiations. "Our goal is to keep the ports open with minimal disruption to trade," union president Rob Ashton said in a statement. Scott said the union has not taken job action in over 20 years, and while he is pleased the union's actions will keep the ports open, he said any action at all is "disappointing" and disrupts business. "Our focus remains on keeping the ports open for business, keeping goods flowing,' said Scott.
