“We’ve seen what can happen when public projects are built without these agreements. The BC Conservatives want to take us back to a time when public projects like the Canada Line were built using temporary foreign labour. On that project, foreign workers were paid less than $4 an hour.” said Brynn Bourke, executive director for the BC Building Trades

We thank the Journal of Commerce for covering our ongoing fight to protect local BC jobs and family-sustaining wages. Learn more at https://protectbcjobs.ca/
