Where you at, Pierre?
When you're in a fight, your friends show up.
@ILWUCanada Local 514 port workers have been locked out for demanding protections in the face of job losses.
Big Bosses will always choose profits. New Democrats will always choose workers.
Solidarity!

The Port of Vancouver is abandoning tugboat workers. What can YOU do? Send a letter to my MP and Minister of Transport Pablo Rodriguez demanding they step up for them. Have a moment to do the same? #ILWU @DispatcherIlwu @500Dispatch

70 Years Later this is still true.
Our Ten Guiding Principles 1953
A Union is built on its Members.
The strength, understanding and unity of the membership can determine the union’s course and its advancements.
The Members who work, who make up the union and pay its dues can best determine their own destiny.
If the facts are honestly presented to the members in the ranks, they will best judge what should be done and how it should be done.
In brief, it is the Membership of the Union which is the best judge of its own welfare;
not the officers, not the employers, not the politicians and the fair weather friends of labor.
Above all, this approach is based on the conviction that given the truth and an opportunity to determine their own course of action, the rank and file in 99 cases out of 100 will take the right path in their own interests and in the interests of all the people. #ILWU

"The best way to counter employers who put profits before safety is for workers to organize a strong union with a contract that ensures proper safety procedures and enforcement mechanism are in place. The ILWU stands in solidarity with all of those impacted by this tragedy.”
