The strike would take place starting Monday morning at two terminals operated by Termont Montréal.
Two cargo terminals at the Port of Montreal could find themselves paralyzed next week if the Syndicat des débardeurs follows through on a 72-hour strike notice it filed Friday morning.
In a statement, the longshoremen’s union said it filed notice of the strike at 7 a.m. Friday, which would allow the membership to walk off the job as of 7 a.m. Monday.
Should the strike occur, it would last until 6:59 a.m. Thursday. The union said the strike would take place at two terminals operated by Termont Montréal.
Union officials are expected to hold a press conference on Friday to detail the state of contract negotiations.
The longshoremen’s contract expired Dec. 31.
