AltaGas Ltd. has signed a new five-year labour agreement with union workers at its Ridley Island Propane Export Terminal in Prince Rupert, B.C., ending a 28-day labour disruption.
The agreement with International Longshore and Warehouse Union Local 523B was ratified and union employees returned to work on Dec. 25.
During the labour disruption, AltaGas used operational leadership as an alternative workforce to maintain export operations at the terminal, which serves more than 70 export customers.
The company continued to deliver service throughout the strike period, according to the company.
The Ridley Island Propane Export Terminal began operations in 2019 as an open access facility. The terminal exports Canadian propane to markets in Asia.
AltaGas is a Calgary-based energy infrastructure company that operates natural gas and energy assets across North America.
