This stinks.
The BCMEA have been a road block to any bargaining in good faith and the lock out only happened after ILWU Local 514 used the other bargaining tool they had, withdrawing labour, thus the BCMEA /DP World threw a shitfit.
But of course, the Feds will protect capital over labour rights.

The BC Maritime Employers Association would leave federally mediated talks called by the government after an hour of negotiations, to then blame it on the ILWU so they could try and ram through concessions meaning to weaken the union members.
And the BCMEA were like "never again" after last year.

One of the things I always think about in the disinformation that the BCMEA shares in their statements is how they talk about Longshoreman on average make more than six figures per year and foreman above 300k per year.
Yeah, if they worked themselves to the bone 340+ days a year with double shifts.

Day 4 of ILWU Canada's strike here on the BC coast. We're fighting for cost of living protections and further protections against automation, demands that are not unreasonable contrary to what the BCMEA says.
Third day on the picket line for me in Nanaimo. Vibes are good.

Was out picketing with my brothers in the ILWU. We are on strike for the first time in 30 years after the BCMEA has not come to the bargaining table in good faith.
Main points of contention is the continuing use of automation in the industry and protections against the increasing cost of living.

The BCMEA and the corporations they represent are burning 900 Million dollars in commerce each day they lock out Local 514.
Making sure the proper protections are in place for Foreman is a drop in the bucket compared to the capital they're deliberately letting go to waste.

The last paragraph from Rob Ashton paints what the BCMEA are doing pretty plain and simple,
"We hope the BCMEA is not using its vast resources and connections to vilify the Union and scare the public with tales of economic disaster."

The BCMEA also noted in their press release that, "in 2022, the median salary of an ILWU Union longshore worker in B.C. was $136,000 per year, plus benefits and pension" without taking into account the actual cost of living in Vancouver, or how many workers actually reach that mark.

The latest from the ILWU Bargaining Committee and ILWU President Rob Ashton.
The BCMEA a couple hours prior did a press release framing the ILWU as "outside any reasonable framework for settlement" whilst blissfully ignoring the fact that they represent multiple Billion dollar corporations.
