Allocation of Labour
Allocation involves the assignment of available gangs to declared vessels at BCMEA-ILWU ports in British Columbia. This activity is conducted by a Committee consisting of one representative from the BCMEA who is the Chairperson, one representative from each of three Stevedore Class member companies and one representative from each of two Ship Owner Class member companies.

This committee meets daily to review the estimated number of gangs available by port and the projected gang requirements for the 4:30pm, and the 1:00am and 8:00am shifts the following day. Member companies are also requested to provide information on anticipated vessel arrivals by port area for the next fourteen day period. This forecast is updated daily.
