Recently a Grain Ship was reported to the Local for having an unsafe gangway.

It was unsafe as it:

The following pictures show how unsafe it actually was:

1. Landed on unstable platform
2. No guardrail on portable stairs

This should have been a “refusal to work.”
Know your rights under the Canada Labour Code!!
