"Through social labor, workers produce, store, and deliver the wealth of society — from food to fuel to various manufactured items — and keep society running. Indeed, as the BCMEA boasts on its own website, 'As much of our industry is built around metal and machines, the shipping business has always relied on people to keep the supply chain moving. And it’s this human side of the shipping business that we do best.'

"The outsize salaries enjoyed by management is derived from the labor of their essential workers. The profits are not generated through the owners’ own efforts, but rather through the implementation of speedups, wage cuts, and the exploitation of their staff."

Oh ports of Canada's West,
Your laborers gave it their best
To fight for their pay,
Which they won the same day
And gave us all a sigh of relief
