Adopt a phased staffing and automation integration plan now to shield jobs, keep cranes moving, and preserve line continuity at deltaport. This approach pairs board-level oversight with on-site leadership to support a collective effort and keep the pace steady before the next shift.

Preparation includes a concise press release coordinated by the board, with input from pierre 和 oregan to ensure real-time clarity on goals. This alignment links terminal throughput to collective effort and safeguards 工作.

Operational steps target the line of loading, with cranes 和 jack stands synced to continue flow while checking hold points. A copied briefing will be sent to them, so that both sides can respond, find efficiencies, and keep tempo before 和 later editions if needed.

Routine walk through the yard will verify asset readiness and hold points, while the team looks to find bottlenecks. Emphasis on 自动化 will be paced to protect 工作 and keep the terminal functioning, with regular reviews by the board to ensure collective momentum through the deltaport corridor.

Timeline of events and key turning points

Recommendation: appointed mediator within 24 hours; the appointed mediator should review the department files to support stability.

Day 1 – The department appointed a mediator; the files from labor relations, payroll, and operations were released to ensure transparency. The large union expressed support and agreed to a structured discussion window, marking an early turning point toward de-escalation and steady engagement.
Day 3 – The mediator directed the talks; pierre joined as a senior adviser, and a European consultant team provided independent analysis. Depending on progress, a joint position paper was prepared to guide next steps and maintain momentum.
Week 2 – A preliminary framework was reached; measures include staged wage adjustments and a dollars pool for a bonus program. The proposal was supported by the largest regional division, and the parties agreed to monitor metrics over the coming decades to ensure stability and trust.
Week 4 – Operational plans and governance structures were aligned with ongoing reporting. The files were used to direct scheduling, and the department committed to higher transparency; this went smoothly as the union signaled continued support and the mediator directed next-stage negotiations.
Week 6 – Implementation and verification: a formal implementation plan was approved, with milestones and reviews every quarter. The future-focused measures aim to mark sustained stability and take the necessary actions to build long-term relationships across the department and the union, with pierre coordinating cross-border insights from the european team.

joint governance should be built into the department’s long-term strategy to preserve stability for decades to come.

Operational impact on Canadian ports: berth throughput, cargo dwell, and schedule resilience

Immediate action: empower the minister to launch a joint government action plan that lifts berth throughput across terminals, shortens cargo dwell, and strengthens schedule resilience. Current modeling indicates that implementing dynamic berth allocation, shared terminal planning data, and extended operating windows can raise throughput 15-20% in peak months and cut cargo dwell by 1-2 days per shipment. october milestones should be established, with daily files updated by terminal teams to track progress and ensure transparency for canadians.

Berth throughput: Between 70-85% berth occupancy is common under current schedules; to lift the number of moves, implement a formal priority ladder for lines, add 2-3 hours of gate access per day at busy terminals, and deploy cross-docking windows to flatten peaks. planning for a 12-18% rise in weekly TEU handled is achievable if the action plan is supported by that team and those terminals. this cannot happen without aligned support from the government and industry partners.

货物滞留时间：主要枢纽的平均滞留时间约为 2.3-3.5 天；为了缩短滞留时间，应争取船舶提前到达时间窗口、加快进口文件的清关速度，并减少航运公司和码头之间的交接次数。由于某些航线的滞留时间较长，有针对性的干预措施可以缩短 0.5-1.5 天。使用仪表板跟踪按商品和航运公司划分的滞留时间；加拿大人将受益于关键贸易航线上 10-20% 的滞留时间缩短。.

排程弹性：通过准时执行率与计划呼叫次数来衡量可靠性；设定下季度 85-90% 的准时目标。行动：为脆弱线路设置缓冲时间，制定应急呼叫计划，并在各条线路之间共享单个计划文件。各条线路应在周二的计划会议中进行演练并每周更新；这将减少中断发生时的连锁延迟。.

劳动力规划：退休风险正在上升；目前的预测显示，未来五年内，高达 25-30% 的一线职位可能出现空缺。团队应扩大学徒计划，加快招聘速度，并简化入职流程。加拿大人的就业增长需要收集来自求职者和在职员工的意见；应跟踪和改进初步筛选的拒绝率。加拿大人的意见将用于十月份的简报文件，以确保连续性，同时通过选择性招聘和加速培训计划，实现劳动力的净增长。.

劳资关系动态：工会策略、雇主应对和争议解决步骤

建议：立即成立由当地港口领导和管理层平等代表组成的联合调解小组，设定 48 小时的期限，立即提出具体方案，在广场和通过 tapp 仪表板公布结果，并开始向加拿大人实时公开更新。立即采取行动，控制紧张局势，防止港口日程安排中断。.

工会策略侧重于三个核心杠杆：简明的谈判议程、与加拿大民众持续透明的沟通，以及将里程碑与可衡量的奖金和安全目标联系起来的明确时间表。地方团队应参加周二的会议，并携带经过预先测试的提案，这些提案应解决最具破坏性的问题，同时保持全面运营。重点在于集体利益，这些利益无需长期谈判即可贯穿整个指挥链，只需就适用于所有终端的具体条款达成一致即可。.

雇主的回应应优先考虑可预测性和可靠性：公布完整的成本预测（包括潜在的数十亿长期节省），承诺进行全面、可审计的流程，并承认加拿大人对南方港口运营的担忧。管理层应提供一个分阶段的计划，以保持每个码头的功能运转，维护安全，并在建立可信的共识之前避免突然的改变。尽早与出席的管理员和主管进行沟通可以减少通过法令进行谈判的感觉，并保持士气稳定。.

争议解决步骤：第一步——启动即时调解小组，并在24小时内开始调查取证；第二步——实施临时运营协议，以在谈判继续进行的同时维持吞吐量；第三步——如果僵局持续，则任命一名独立仲裁员就关键点提出具有约束力的建议；第四步——如果在设定的日期之前未达成协议，则采纳最终报价；第五步——建立季度审查机制，以评估合规性并通过下一轮谈判调整工作流程。.

围绕着博励治和皮埃尔的公开讲话，人们对问责抱有期望，而加拿大人则期待实际成果。为此，最大的港口应该追求一种改革的心态：协调加拿大南部边境地区枢纽的流程，注重培训，并制定更长期的计划。即使谈判持续数年，目标仍然是减少瓶颈，使整个供应链更具韧性，并避免代价高昂的破坏，这种破坏将影响到每个广场和码头。三级方法——准备、促进和执行——提供了一种切实可行的方式，可以实时监控，并根据一组简单的KPI进行衡量。.

该国港口治理和劳动法改革的政策信号

应设立一个由任命的独立港口管理委员会，该委员会具有第四支柱和四年任期，应推动绩效标准、安全审计和公共报告。在其职权范围内，该委员会应公布季度业绩，并将指标与欧洲效率和环境合规基准对齐。.

实施一个跨码头的集体谈判法定框架，包括72小时的冷静期和一个针对必要服务的快速仲裁通道。每小时中断都会带来成本。核心小组通过整合政府、雇主和有组织的劳工来解决改革问题，行业表示今天的进展正在按计划进行。下一轮将咨询该行业的所有企业。.

规范承包惯例以抑制波动：要求签订书面合同并明确范围，限制分包以保障工资和福利，并为长期员工提供退休保障。这既保护了海事劳动力的利益，又实现了稳定的运营，并结束了运营商的波动。.

三大优先成果的政策信号：可预测的成本、熟练的劳动力和快速的争议解决。根据参与过往改革人士的经验教训，改革设定了三个里程碑，包括第四年达到完全合规的目标；预计第一阶段的投资约为一百万美元，目前行业兴趣浓厚。展望未来，该计划包括学徒制和持续学习，为退休和不断变化的货物组合做好准备。.

英国考量：放弃CE替代方案的理由、英国脱欧时间表以及市场影响

建议：在过渡期内保留CE认证，并实施分阶段的UKCA推广，以维持供应的连续性、降低成本并抑制通货膨胀。24个月的窗口期可以让港口运营商、工会团队和公司进行调整，同时避免短期付款延迟和中断。.

英国脱欧时间线和CE框架

政府任命的政策部门起草了一份分阶段的时间表，该时间表推迟了UKCA全面主导地位，转而采取关键领域的相互认可桥梁。到第四季度，新的货物运输将面临UKCA的要求，但延长的窗口期保留了对旧货物的持续接受。联邦框架与区域当局和几个国家协调，以统一标准，最大限度地减少卸货点与起重机相关的瓶颈，并保持道路畅通。来自物流集团的darryl指出，过渡步骤已经带来了成本压力，但这种方法避免了突然的供应缺口。非洲的供应商和其他国家的合作伙伴通过招标和由poilievre领导的审查进行观察，并使用tapp机制来跟踪合规成本和付款流。与欧盟支持的规则达成协议，降低了差异风险，并保护了西方及其他地区数十亿的贸易价值。.

对供应商和物流的市场影响

短期影响包括合规成本上升，但分阶段实施可以限制对供应链的干扰，并保护农用设备和消费品。拥有工会劳工和大型卡车及起重机车队的公司已经准备了应急计划，起草了替代路线，并重新安排了装卸时间表以加快卸货速度。该策略为多个群体保持了稳定的收入来源，并通过与公路运输线路协调，保持温哥华地区仓库的正常运转。如果与CE相关的成本得到控制，通货膨胀保持可控，且付款时间表保持可预测，政府将协商有针对性的补贴以抵消过渡成本。该协议内容有助于保护联邦预算，否则联邦预算将需要承担数十亿美元的新合规成本，同时保持向遥远国家的可预测的供应 flujo。.
