Vancouver grain terminal workers will return to work as soon as Saturday morning, ending a walkout at Canada’s busiest port at the height of harvest season.

Workers at the six main grain terminals located in the Canadian port of Vancouver went on strike on Tuesday, a move that could disrupt exports of canola and other crops, government and industry officials said.

Negotiations to end a strike by grain terminal workers in Metro Vancouver have stalled, with the employers' association saying it's disappointed with the results of two days of talks.
