Dear Brothers and Sisters,
We need you to make your voice heard.
We commend the Canadian Government on its commitments to implementing Investment Tax Credits for green technologies, which are tied to strong labour conditions. Now, the Building Trades need your support to make these commitments a reality.
To support workers and industry in transitioning to net zero, the Government should quickly follow through on implementing the Investment Tax Credits, the strong definition of Prevailing Wage, and the apprenticeship requirements, which will help grow the industry this fall. These credits and their labour conditions will help create good paying jobs for all workers and make sure that no worker is left behind in the transition to net zero.
To show your support and to ensure legislation is tabled and includes a strong definition of prevailing wage – based on union compensation – send a letter to your local Member of Parliament and Deputy Prime Minister Freeland.
Join the campaign and show your support for this issue by sending a letter today.
In solidarity,
