🚨 The new bill proposed by the BC conservatives prohibits the government from requiring union employment standards for new construction projects, paving the way for untrained, unsafe, race-to-the-bottom standards - meaning worse wages for workers and rewarding dangerous labour practices #bcpoli

BC BUILDING TRADES SLAM CONSERVATIVE BILL AS DIRECT ATTACK ON LOCAL WORKERS, FAIR WAGES, AND SAFE JOB SITES
LATEST NEWS Steelworkers blast Conservative bill as hypocrisy after MLAS claimed to support workers March 6, 2026 Media Releases
TEAMSTERS LOCAL UNION NO. 213 UNITY, PRIDE AND STRENGTH CONSERVATIVES ATTACK BC WORKERS WITH SHORTSIGHTED CONSTRUCTION BILL March 5, 2026 Teamsters Local 213 condemns the BC Conservatives in their latest attack on the working people of British Columbia.
Standing in solidarity with all working people, and advocating for policies like sectoral bargaining, protecting card check, and enforcing the Employment Standards Act is how we defend the fundamental rights of workers. #bcpoli
The Conservatives are taking aim at the workers who keep our province running. We should be making this the easiest province to join and form a union, but attacks on labour from establishment parties are growing.
headline reading Carney won't 'categorically rule out' military participation
Hundreds of Iranian civilians have already been killed by the US and Israel’s bombings. Now Carney is mulling over pushing Canadians into this illegal war. The people of Iran and Canadians deserve better than this capitulation to Trump and Netanyahu.
David Eby, on camera, admits that he axed the carbon tax because of corporate lobbying. Cutting it made life more expensive for workers and cheaper for big polluters.
He says BC is too dependent on resource extraction - and yet their plan is to triple down on American-owned gas projects.

Libraries are the hearts of our communities. The workers who keep them running deserve a fair deal. Sending support and solidarity to CUPE Local 1698. #bcpoli
The LNG industry is a funnel from our pockets to foreign shareholders.
Eby’s NDP is putting our money into a sinkhole of debt, stranding us with unprofitable assets and US corporate control. Things don’t have to be this way.
Thank you to Nick Gottlieb and Andy Hira for putting it so clearly. #lng
Campus stop! 🚌 Thanks to @essauvic @uvicgreens for hosting this enviro studies student Q&A. It’s an honour to fight alongside you for universal tuition, good union jobs for all, and free, fast transit⚡️💚 #bcpoli #campuspolitics
Bold politics focused squarely on uplifting working people can upend the status quo, defeat the corporate agenda, and deliver a better world.
Just like in BC, the UK is stuck between an ineffectual ruling party riding off of its former progressive policies, and a rising far-right one. That’s when it’s time for the Greens to step in.
Congratulations to Hannah Spencer and Zack Polanski. Greens across the world are proving that this fight is one we can win. #globalpolitics #greensweep 💚 @greenparty.org.uk @zackpolanski.bsky.social
The BC Conservatives helped push forward a bill to abolish the Human Rights Code.
These politicians use threats on the rights of marginalized British Columbians to divide the working class. We won’t let them.
The only minority making life harder for British Columbians is the ultra-rich. #bcpoli
The BC NDP just announced a $400 million handout for private companies. Working people deserve more than austerity and a captured government. We deserve financial stability through a wealth tax, an affordability agenda, and an end to this era of corporate capitulation. #bcpoli
Headline reading: New $400M fund will allow B.C. gov't to directly invest in private projects
Text reading: The goal of the Strategic Investment Fund is to co-invest in projects that would be in line to secure up to $20 billion in federal defence investments through Canada's new Defence Industrial Strategy, as well
More austerity for workers and handouts for corporations. Will Eby ensure taxpayer dollars don’t go to private arms manufacturers?
We’ve seen the reports on Canadian-made arms being sent to ICE and the IDF. Public money should be for public programs, not those profiting off of cruelty.

We need strong regulations to ensure workers across all sectors are protected — from AI surveillance, algorithmic management and job displacement. /3
Governments are hanging back, cowardly following an “innovate first, regulate later” strategy that puts workers and communities dead last. This is unacceptable — AI billionaires are in a blind arms-race, with no agreement on where the industry will be in even five years. /2
BC relies on workers in creative industry. But right now, governments are putting them at risk, legitimizing AI billionaires’ narratives that these workers are replaceable. /1 #bcpoli
Billionaires will make a lot of noise when you ask them to pay their fair share. These people make more money overnight than a worker makes in a year. They can afford it. #bcpoli
I am sickened by this news. Alarm bells have been going off about AI corporations since they launched — their lack of accountability is untenable.
The government must step in with regulations. In the immediate, a rigorous investigation into OpenAI and a moratorium on AI data centres in BC. #bcpoli
We met Hasan Piker, the biggest left wing streamer in the world. As the 99%, we’re not out numbered, we’re out-organized. When we stand together, we have more power than we think⚡ #politics #hasanpiker
If the best the BC NDP has is “a Conservative budget would have been worse,” I’m certain we’ll be seeing one very soon.
With the lack of the Climate Action Tax Credit and the tax increase, combined with the lack of funding in critical sectors that make life more affordable, working families will bear the brunt of this budget. /4
Corporate income tax rates were never returned to their pre-2005 levels, that being 13.5% (compared to our current 12%). We’re making $16.8 billion dollars less a year than we were before the BC Liberals. We’re getting barely anything for our resource royalties. /3
15,000 workers are losing their jobs. $10-a-day childcare is frozen. Post-secondary institutions have no path out of their funding crisis. Funding for non-market housing is functionally dead, leaving non-profits with the bag. These are just a few examples. /2
