A major North American railway says it has placed 91裸聊视频渢emporary embargoes91裸聊视频� on export traffic to the Port of Vancouver, as a strike at British Columbia ports drags into its fifth day with no signs of a breakthrough.

Patrick Waldon, with Canadian Pacific Kansas City, formerly known as CP Rail, says the company is 91裸聊视频渃losely monitoring91裸聊视频� developments and is in direct communication with customers about the strike.

Waldon says in a statement that the railway, formed when CP acquired Kansas City Southern earlier this year, wants a 91裸聊视频渟wift resolution91裸聊视频� to protect North American supply chains and Canada91裸聊视频檚 economy.

He says embargoes have been issued for the Port of Vancouver, in a way that is 91裸聊视频渁llowing traffic to move west while protecting network fluidity.91裸聊视频�

Talks between the BC Maritime Employers Association and the International Longshore and Warehouse Union Canada remain deadlocked over maintenance issues, leaving more than 7,000 workers at 30 ports across B.C. on strike since Saturday morning.

Both sides have issued statements singling out a maintenance deal as the reason talks stalled Monday.

91裸聊视频淣egotiations are still paused, however, the BCMEA remains ready to re-engage at a moment91裸聊视频檚 notice, assuming ILWU Canada is prepared to present a reasonable proposal,91裸聊视频� the employers association said in an email Wednesday.

The union said Tuesday that its jurisdiction over maintenance is being eroded by the use of contractors, and the key issue is the refusal of employers to agree to 91裸聊视频渙ne sentence91裸聊视频� of a maintenance document.

The employers association meanwhile said the union was trying to 91裸聊视频渁ggressively expand91裸聊视频� its control of maintenance duties far beyond an agreement that the association says has been 91裸聊视频渓egally well established for decades.91裸聊视频�

It said union workers were already unable to fulfil duties over which they have jurisdiction, and changing the rules would have 91裸聊视频渋mmediate and significant impacts91裸聊视频� at ports.

Business organizations, as well as officials in both Alberta and Saskatchewan, have called on Ottawa to step in and end the strike, but federal Labour Minister Seamus O91裸聊视频橰egan says he wants the union and employers to go back to the negotiating table.
