The union represents about 400 truck drivers, who would join the non-union truckers who launched job action last week.

The group of around 1,000 non-unionized workers walked off the job over a number of issues, including long wait times and low rates of pay.

Unifor is asking for rates to rise and be standardized and enforced across the sector to prevent under-cutting.
