Negotiations to end a strike by grain terminal workers in Metro Vancouver have stalled, with the employers’ association saying it’s “disappointed” with the results of two days of talks.

A statement from the Western Grain Elevator Association says the employer bargaining unit had increased its offer to settle “outstanding issues,” but that was rejected.
