Real unions represent their members through democracy. Show your support for @heathermcpherson.bsky.social's Bill C-259 to help prevent undemocratic organizations like CLAC from creating a race to the bottom in standards. edmontonlabour.ca/campaigns/c-...

While real unions represent their members through democracy, organizations like CLAC lack accountability, creating a race to the bottom.

Tragic news out of Alberta: an oil rig worker died on the job in December. One death is one too many - everyone should return home safe from work.

Over 800 workers at OEM Remanufacturing chose to leave CLAC in favour of a real, democratic union.
Real unions make it easier to do the hardest work out there. When unions thrive, our industry sees growth in good-paying jobs, higher safety standards and quality results on the job.

The workers at Ironworkers Local 725 in Calgary are some of the hard-working Canadians exposed to tariffs.
We’re stepping up to protect their careers — making it easier to buy and build with Canadian steel, moving away from relying on imported steel, and investing in retraining and supports.
Prime Minister @mark-carney.bsky.social shared the Canadian Government's plans to build a new pipeline to the West Coast at the Ironworkers Local 725.
The BTA and its affiliates were honoured to connect with the Prime Minister on this exciting news! Our members are ready to get to work!
Terry Parker and Heather McPherson
Always a pleasure to meet with my friend, Terry Parker, from the Building Trades of Alberta.
There is a lot of work we can do together - protecting Canadian jobs, stopping Company unions like CLAC, and getting Canadian workers rights enshrined in law.
To all those who sacrificed and all those who've served, we honour you. Let us remember today and every day.
#RemembranceDay #lestweforget #buildingtrades
This Veterans' Week, we honour the sacrifices of the Canadian Armed Forces.
