Teamsters Airgas workers in Ferndale reinstated with back pay after year-long strike
11 HR AGO
The union alleges that Airgas made unlawful threats, lockouts, discharge, and retaliation against workers for exercising their legal rights.
Australian federal and state leaders back unions’ right to act as Canada faces escalating municipal and NGO disputes
Workers at BHP’s Port Hedland iron ore operation in Western Australia have voted to strike for the first time in almost 20 years. Federal Resources Minister Madeleine King said she hoped it would not come to a strike but defended unions’ right to take action at the Pilbara port, and WA Premier Roger Cook also offered support to workers. The potential stoppage would affect Australia’s busiest export port, where iron ore shipments are worth an estimated $120 million a day.
In Canada, Metro Vancouver’s unionized outside workers warned they are closer to a full-scale strike after weeks of rotating pickets and no scheduled talks, with lines set up at work yards in Surrey and Delta. Separately, Oxfam Canada staff represented by CUPE 2722 are on strike after more than a year of bargaining over wage and equity provisions, including leave for gender-affirming care and protections for workers experiencing domestic violence. Across Europe, early-2026 data show high strike counts in Portugal, Italy, Spain and France, and Italy’s local police announced a nationwide strike for June 12 to raise awareness of working conditions.
Simultaneous disputes in ports, municipal services and policing indicate labor risk concentrated in essential infrastructure across multiple regions.
