Contract talks broke down at 4 a.m. Monday, and International Longshore and Warehouse Union President Rob Ashton says no new talks are planned.
The limited job action includes an overtime ban, but the union is not putting up picket lines.
Ashton says the goal is to keep the ports open with minimal disruption to trade, while they continue to pursue a new contract.
