During 2015, ocean shipping showed extraordinary resi-lience, in keeping with its tradition. Economist predictions for volumes to be handled did not materialize. In the end, we still managed to get the best out of our companies

As members and business partners of the MEA, we must be vigilant, identify and suggest improvements. We must have the courage to dare and use our wisdom to take necessary decisions. Our port activity is strong and will remain so as long as we stay united and work together to meet our common goals.

the MEA evolve greatly over the past years. I would like to acknowledge the arrival of Mr. Stéphane Morency as his successor. With our support, he will certainly built on the knowledge gained of the Association and make it progress for the very best interest of all.
I would also like to point out the exceptional work of all of our employees who, day in, day out, work to provide the best possible conditions so that we can better serve our clients and our partners.
Finally, I would like to particularly emphasize the contribu-tion of the members of the Board of Directors. Their rigour,
to consider new ideas were, and remain, an enormous asset for the MEA.
Dear members, be assured that we are looking at 2016 with enthusiasm and we are ready to meet all challenges that will come our way.

In 2015, weak growth observed in the maritime industry forced the sector stakeholders to look for new approaches and implement new ways of doing things in order to maintain their performance. For its part, the Maritime Employers Association was able to anticipate this situa-tion at the right time, adapt to it and be creative. Our
organization’s concerns.
The trend we observed over the past year should conti-nue in 2016. This is why it is imperative for us to continue being imaginative in order to maintain our competitive advantage. No-one doubts that the MEA will once again deploy all necessary efforts and resources in order to achieve this.

that reproduces a realistic work environment. I would also like to thank the Port of Montreal’s administration for their support and participation in making the Montreal Harbour Training Center (MHTC) recognized by the industry.
Also, the MEA worked to broaden its service proposals by giving training to aid in the progression of its employees’ work skills, but also of their self-management skills. This approach can only bring positive results and will surely promote a better work environment on the docks.
In conclusion, I would like to thank Mr. Jean Bédard for placing his trust in me during all of these years and for his support during the transition period. It goes without mentioning that his sound advice will serve me for a long time. I would also like to thank the members of the Board of Directors and its Chairperson, Mr. Michael Fratianni, who welcome my new ideas and give me unconditional support to make them come true.
Allow me to also point out the dedication and diligence of all of the MEA’s personnel. The hard work of each of my leadership team’s members has allowed us to achieve the results you can see today, and thereby maintain our leading position.

INTENSIVE RECRUITMENT AND CREATION OF A NEW WORKERS’ GROUP
In order to respond to the tonnage growth observed in 2015, as well as the positive repercussions stemming therefrom,

WORK OF THE UNION-MANAGEMENT COMMITTEE
The union-management committee, mandated to assign longshoremen of Local 375 to work, has amended a clause
to eight hours between two assignations. Furthermore, with this agreement, there are no longer any restriction on the
night shift.
The joint committee collaborated at the creation of new positions exclusive to the day shift; this will give some workers the opportunity to a better conciliate work and family. In fact, a set number of employees will be authorized to avoid

THE YEARIN REVIEW1
The MEA and the Local 1657 checkers’ union renewed the agreement that allows the inclusion of reserve pool employees in the regular manpower dispatch in winter.
WORKING TIME MANAGEMENT
Over the past two years, the MEA, in close collaboration with the stevedoring companies, has undertaken the auto-mation of a system aiming to replace agents assigned to monitor workers relays during machine operator changes.

walking bosses can optimize the distribution of workers assigned to relay work. The maintenance departments of each of the concerned companies will play a crucial role in this implementation. The introduction of the full technological solution is planned for the end of 2016.
BEST PRACTICES FOR INCREASED PORT PRODUCTIVITY
in the United Kingdom and also held consultations with the Association of Swedish ports, the APM terminals in The Hague, the New York Shipping Association (NYSA) and the United States Maritime Alliance (USMX). The objective was to identify the best practices to be adopted to improve productivity and maximize the performance of port terminals where the MEA is present. At the end of the exchanges with the various organizations that were met, conclusions indicated three themes to consider in order to achieve excellence.
Input from human resources was designated as one of the key drivers for achieving better results. The employer must encourage ongoing training and skills improvement for all of its operators and administrators.
Committed managers that strive to maintain excellent communication with their workers obtain superior performances at work without any doubt. Employees that feel concerned are generally more motivated and dedicated to their tasks, which contributes to the company’s success.
Proper supervision of operations with the help of technological tools that provide real time data also acts positively on a port terminal’s ability to remain competitive.

a longshoreman accused of intimidation and threats against a work colleague. By upholding the employee’s dismissal, the arbitrator reinforced the MEA’s position towards its zero-tolerance policy for acts of intimidation, threats and work-place violence.

As for the collective agreement that ended December 31, 2015, the MEA initiated negotiations with the union in the fall. The parties feel that they will be able to rapidly reach an agreement in the best interests of everyone involved.
PORTS OF HAMILTON AND TORONTO
During the past year, the MEA hired new port employees to meet the increased work volume at the Port of Hamilton. The recruitment process is not completed, so the association performed a detailed analysis of manpower needs and
At a legal level during this past year, the CIRB awarded a judgment in favour of the MEA. All companies doing business in the Port of Hamilton are obligated to use the MEA’s longshoremen for ship loading and unloading operations.
International Longshoremen’s Association began before the CIRB in November. No decision has yet been rendered and written pleadings will continue in 2016.

Studies on this matter are ongoing and the implementation of recommendations that will be unveiled will allow to reduce the negative effects of exposition to particles of these materials in order to protect workers’ health.
ACCIDENT INVESTIGATIONS
The Occupational Health and Safety Tribunal Canada (OHSTC) rendered its decision concerning the role that union and management representative must hold during an accident investigation. The verdict states that representatives of both parties must be involved in the investigation, and that all types of accidents, regardless of their gravity, must be investigated. Representatives of the MEA appealed the cause to the Federal Court.
While awaiting judgment, both parties displayed great collaboration and agreed upon an investigation process to put into practice when a work accident happens at maritime terminals. The MEA then started training on the execution of this process for all occupational health and safety delegates, superintendents, walking bosses, and stevedoring company directors.
PREVENTION CAMPAIGN REGARDING THE USE OF ELECTRONIC DEVICES
The increased use of new technologic personal apparels in the workplace has led the MEA to create a prevention campaign concerning the growing risk of accidents during the use of electronic devices while operating machinery. Positive outcomes from this initiative taken by the Occupational Health and Safety Department will be observed during the coming year.
RISK PREVENTION IN THE WORKPLACE PROGRAM
In 2015, the OHS Department worked on creating a guide for risk prevention in the workplace. This training tool, which will be integrated to current work procedures, includes methods for identifying danger as well as measures to be taken in order to reduce the number of accidents at port terminals.

HARASSMENT AND VIOLENCE IN THE WORK ENVIRONMENT
The OHS team analyzed the contents of the harassment and violence training that is offered to all employees and made some adjustments, as well as adding a section on prevention. A considerable number of Montreal longshoremen took this mandatory course during the year. It will gradually be given to checkers, maintenance employees, member company staff and workers in Trois-Rivières/Bécancour in the near future. With this training, the MEA intends to heighten workers’ awareness and reduce the number of cases of harassment and violence that occur in the workplace, and improve its

For the Montreal Harbour Training Center (MHTC), 2015 was mainly devoted to preparing and giving a series of training sessions to longshoremen that were hired in the spring. The MHTC’s team have also successfully maintained the
RELOCATION
Last July, the center began its activities in new premises, which offers more interior space for training port employees. The hangar’s large surface area allows the training on lift trucks and manual jobs while being sheltered from bad weather. The modern and comfortable classrooms add up to superior learning for workers in training. As a result of the move, the MHTC further meets the needs of its trainers, of the MEA’s partners and of the industry in which it operates. It has given itself tools to pursue the development of its expertise and its technological evolution.
CURRENT OPERATIONS
As far as current operations are concerned, the MHTC provided 14,676 hours of training, which allowed for the training of 158 new longshoremen on manual jobs, 75 truck operators, and 75 lift truck operators. Moreover, the training that
the arrival of a new specialized trainer came as reinforcement to the team in place. In total, port employees were offered more than 33,500 hours of training over the last twelve months.

EXTERNAL TRAINING AND GREATER VISIBILITY
The Montreal Harbour Training Center has progressed constantly throughout the year and broadened its service offer. Groupe Desgagnés and Nunavut Eastern Arctic Shipping (NEAS) called on its trainers’ expertise and took advantage of its technological facilities to train personnel on ship cranes. Members of the MHTC also participated in the 2nd edition of the Stratégie maritime du Québec (Québec Maritime Strategy) presented by the Événements Les Affaires, and in the Association of Canadian Port Authorities (ACPA) conference as exhibitors. Numerous shipping industry stakeholders were able to learn more about the training center’s activities, and also had the opportunity of trying out the crane simulator.

A new system facilitating the management of vacation choices for longshoremen and checkers of the Port of Montreal was implemented in December. This tool, which was designed during the year, allows the MEA’s labour relations
CREATION OF A PLATFORM TO FACILITATE THE USE OF THE MEA’S DATA
In addition to the reengineering of application systems, part of the IS team took on the development of methods and creation of innovative tools that would facilitate the use of data stored by the MEA.
