British Columbia port employers say they may be “required to reassess” their position on a current offer to more than 700 unionized workers as a lockout shuts down most shipping on the West Coast.

The BC Maritime Employers Association says there has been no engagement with International Longshore and Warehouse Union Local 514 or federal mediators since it locked out workers Monday in response to strike activity by the union.
