    'Do the work': Ottawa urges both sides in B.C. port dispute to restart talks

    • 'Do the work': Ottawa urges both sides in B.C. port dispute to restart talks

    Ottawa has urged both sides in the labour dispute at B-C ports to return to the table after the latest mediated talks collapsed over the weekend.

    A statement from federal Labour Minister Steven MacKinnon says both the employers and the union representing more than 700 longshore supervisors "must understand the urgency of the situation" as a lockout enters its second week.

    MacKinnon says Canadians are counting on both side to "do the work necessary to reach an agreement."

    The labour strife in B-C is happening while another dispute is disrupting the Port of Montreal, where employers locked out nearly 12-hundred workers Sunday night after what they described as a "final" offer was not accepted.
