Talks are back on today in the Seaway strike.
The union and St. Lawrence Seaway are returning to the negotiating table alongside federal mediators today.
The strike has forced the closure of the Welland Canal since Sunday, leaving ships docked and waiting across the region.
Ontario Premier Doug Ford and Quebec Premier Francois Legault say the shutdown of the St. Lawrence Seaway risks significant harm to the region's economy.
In a joint statement, the premiers are calling on both sides in the strike to reach a deal right away.
They are urging Ottawa to use whatever tools it has on hand to bring about a resolution should an agreement fail to emerge immediately.
