British Columbia port employers say the longshore workers union has given 72-hour notice of renewed strike action across the province starting on Saturday morning.

The British Columbia Maritime Employers Association said in a statement that resuming the strike action that had halted cargo movement for 13 days at the start of the month is “unnecessary and reckless.”
