The union representing striking truckers at Vancouver-area shipping terminals says its officials are reviewing a proposal aimed at ending a strike.
But Gavin McGarrigle of Unifor says the union still questions about the proposed plan and there has been no decision about whether truckers will return to work.
The federal and B-C governments and Port Metro Vancouver have announced a 14-point proposal designed to bring the strike to an end by making changes in a number of areas, including how truckers are paid.
Hundreds of unionized workers went on strike earlier this week, joining more than a thousand non-unionized truckers.

McGarrigle says union officials have been reviewing the proposal and have a tentative meeting scheduled with the federal government
this afternoon.
He says there are some deficiencies in the proposal, though he declined to elaborate on the union’s concerns.
The port estimates the strike has affected roughly 885 million dollars worth of cargo each week.
