Our members are speaking out about the value of CBAs: “Labour agreement projects are special because they provide the space for women and other visible minority trades workers to gain experience... There are easily two to three times more local trades women on this job"
“The BC Conservatives want to take us back to a time when public projects like the Canada Line were built using temporary foreign labour.” said Brynn Bourke, executive director.
We thank @JOC_Canada for covering our fight to protect local BC jobs and family-sustaining wages.
BC Building Trades unions are demanding that BC Conservatives stop their attack on good-paying, local trades jobs and withdraw their legislation to ban Community Benefits and Project Labour Agreements.

New BC Conservative legislation will put local BC jobs at risk and will tie government's hands on securing skilled trades. Learn more and add your name to stop the new law: https://t.co/cgjxNhuVCF
I’m looking forward to joining the Mayors of Nanaimo, Castlegar and Revelstoke on a panel at the Council of Forest Industries convention.
Forestry isn’t just a “rural issue.” It supports thousands of jobs across the Lower Mainland — from manufacturing and logistics to construction and the supply chains that keep our communities growing.
The sooner we remember we’re one province, the better. Our prosperity is shared.
Families in Metro Vancouver won’t get ahead while sawmills across the rest of B.C. are shutting down. And we will never build a strong provincial economy on coffee shops and condos alone.
Strong communities everywhere depend on strong industries everywhere.
See you there!

@KatKanada_TM Gotta say, you’re a disgrace. You have no idea who the shooter was. Clearly, he was disturbed. But don’t turn this into another step up on your shitty little political soap box.
@USWDistrict3 was glad to be included in this discussion. There are many challenges these days. Bringing folks together to seek solutions is the right path.
Hosted roundtable w/ Canadian steel producers, BC businesses, unions, and transport industry on steel tariffs.
We support buying Canadian, but it’s critical Canada develops a transition plan that works for everyone to avoid major costs and delays in housing & key infrastructure.
I’m glad to hear that United Steelworkers Local 1-1937 and La-kwa sa muqw Forestry Limited Partnership have reached a tentative agreement.
This is good news for BC’s coastal forestry sector.

Turning reconciliation into a wedge issue might generate headlines, but it would come at the expense of jobs and prosperity for British Columbians.
We all want to build the B.C. of our dreams. To get there, the path forward is together — or not at all.
