B.C.’s proud United Steelworkers members have built our industries and communities - they will continue to help shape our province’s thriving future.

Last July with Minister Josie Osborne we met with workers in Fermie to hear ways to support their local.

A greet week with friends from USW. Thank you for always advocating for the health and safety of all workers.

So great to join thousands of teachers at the legislature today! ⁦Saskatchewan Teachers' Federation⁩ is standing up for teachers, students, families and for every worker in Saskatchewan! Thank you and #Solidarity ⁦Sask Fed of Labour⁩ #canlab

At our events and meetings, we encourage everyone who is comfortable to share their #pronouns because it lets others know that we are not going to assume someone’s gender.

'We need to preserve the forestry workforce and the forestry communities... to not let them fall and collapse in the meantime while we’re striving for a different kind of industry in the long term.” USW District 3 via The Tyee thetyee.ca/News/2024/03/1…

Lack of fibre has forest industry and communities in 'crisis,' unions say timescolonist.com/local-news/lac… via Times Colonist

“Today is not the end of what we're doing – this is just the start. It's our job to fight for a seat at the table. It's our job to fight to make sure that workers voices are heard. It's our job to provide leadership for this industry and I think we can do it – I'm optimistic.”

“When we are not making decisions at the table, we lose. When we are at the table when decisions are made, we are part of the solution. We succeed when workers succeed, their families succeed, our communities succeed,” USW Director Scott Lunny told #BCForestry delegates.

Premier David Eby told delegates 'We're going to take the specific suggestions from this report, we're going to caucus and we're going to support the industry. But more importantly, families depend on it.' #BCForestry

Eby endorses a new report by the three unions called 'Fighting for Our Future' which has recommendations to secure jobs in forest sector.
'We are going to take the specific suggestion in this report and put them into practice,' he says.
