'Now what we're seeing is contractors that have no skin in the game, coming in and stealing our lunch. What happens when somebody steals your lunch? You get angry,'
Representatives from labour groups as far away as Australia and New Zealand spoke at the event Sunday in support of the strikers, who continue to push for improved wages as the cost of living climbs, as well as protection from what they see as an overuse of contractors for maintenance work.
"Now what we're seeing is contractors that have no skin in the game, coming in and stealing our lunch. What happens when somebody steals your lunch? You get angry," he said. The BC Maritime Employers Association has accused the union of trying to "aggressively expand" its control of maintenance duties far beyond what the association says has been established for decades.
Adams told CNBC last week that members from his U.S. west coast chapter of the union will not be unloading Canadian-bound cargo in solidarity with striking workers in Canada.
