UNION PROUD

Contractors and unionized workers

  • We all want good jobs
  • We all want safe jobs
  • We all want to be successful
  • We are hiring
  • We support apprenticeships to bring new hires into the industry
  • Our competent tradespeople are fully-employed across the province
  • We want to make sure that we are not being undercut by non-union contractors

What we’ve accomplished by working together

  • High wages
  • Lots of work – sector is busy 
  • Excellent safety ratings – unionized contracts are 31% safer
  • Training centres 
  • We attract the best and most competent tradespeople
  • We have a good relationship with the government, and the government is pro-union

The real competition is the non-union workers

  • Non-union contractors are competing for jobs that should be union jobs
  • Non-union contractors are winning the jobs/getting the work
