The shady contractors we see in construction don’t give a shit about Canadian workers. They just care about saving costs on labour so they can increase their bottom line/underbid those playing by the rules. Boo hoo.

He’s right! But it can be fixed.
The program serves a need in construction, but it can’t come at the expense of domestic workers who have the skills but can’t get hired.

This Labor Day (and all other days): Thank the workers who serve you. Appreciate the workers who care for you. Respect the workers who pick up your trash. Salute the workers who get you your mail. Honor the workers who teach your children.
Pay all workers a living wage.
Prime Minister @MarkJCarney’s launch of the Federal Government’s Major Projects Office today is a big step forward in fast-tracking Canadian infrastructure projects of national importance.

Smart decision from the Fed Gov to build in Canadian lumber into procurement and invest more in mass timber development and training. It’s the building method of the future and Canada has the resources to be a global leader. Carpenters’ Union members are ready to get to work!

Not including construction as one of the industries permitting open work permits for TFWs is a massive oversight. Construction employers are some of the worst offenders when it comes to worker exploitation. Why not allow for joint union-employer sponsorship to protect TFWs?

The Carpenters’ (@UBCBuilt_CRC) want to thank Minister @DavidPiccini and Premier @fordnation for investing in upskilling our workforce to protect them during economic uncertainty with the US. As Ontario’s largest ever SDF Training recipient, we know how much this changes lives!

Two things that shouldn’t be for profit: prisons and healthcare, because the incentive for harm is too great.
Keep ’em sick.
Keep ’em locked up.
keep the checks coming.
New from me at TVO: a forthcoming report from @CivicActionCA makes for grim housing reading (is there any other kind, these days?) tvo.org/article/analys…
Yeah, let’s stop building the long overdue critical infrastructure we need to support both our current and growing population (mid-construction) while simultaneously laying off blue collar skilled tradespeople during an affordability crisis. Yeah, let’s do that.

Excellent to see Housing Minister @gregorrobertson holding Toronto accountable on sixplexes.
I don’t think we see this without persistent pressure from advocates and folks in @MoreNeighbours@MayorOliviaChow it’s time to bring this back for another CITYWIDE vote in the fall!
