The Liberal Party of Canada hasshown a willingness to work with us

Voting is a fundamental right of ourcitizenship. It is something we oughtnot to take for granted. Your votecounts! And yes you should get outand vote.

Who you vote for is your personalchoice but as trade unionists, we needto consider what each political partyhas done in the past as well as what isoffered in the party platform.

The Conservative Party of Canadacontinues to advance the right-wing,anti-union agenda under AndrewScheer as it did under former PrimeMinister Stephen Harper. The Harperadministration passed legislation thatwould directly interfere with theadministration of all trade unions in ourcountry and other legislation thatwould impact workers' rights to orga-nize and belong to the union of theirchoice. The legislation was a shamefulattack on the rights of workers and theunions to which they belong. When theTrudeau Liberals were elected, theyintroduced legislation restoring the bal-ance for workers and their unions; theConservative Members of Parliamentvoted against the legislation, continuingto show their disdain for unions andworkers.

The Green Party is primarily con-cerned about climate change and per-haps rightly so. However, their positionon fossil fuels and resource extractionis inconsistent with the positions takenby the Building Trades. The Greenposition on transition from fossil fuelsto renewables, as far as we can tell,does not account for the immediateimpact such a transition would have onthe work our members currently do inthe resource sector. Canada exportsfossil fuels to countries where evenbitumen and LNG are cleaner energysources than coal and dung. Pollutiondoesn't respect international borders;what is burned in India or Chinaimpacts climate change. Our contribu-tion to burning cleaner energy by wayof extracting and exporting to thosecountries will help reduce CO2 emis-sions as well as ensure work for ourmembers.

The New Democratic Party has beenthe traditional voice of workers andunionized workers but for BuildingTrades members, of late the FederalNew Democratic Party has been a dis-appointment. Their position on

pipelines and natural resource develop-ment has conflicted with the positionof the Building Trades. In meetings withthe leadership of the federal NDP, theyhave indicated that they only opposeone project (TMX) but fail to realizethat their opposition translates into theloss of millions of hours of employmentfor construction workers.

The Liberal Party of Canada sincecoming to power in 2015 has workedclosely with trade unions. Very specifi-cally with the unions which make upthe Building Trades. They have recog-nized the work we do with apprentice-ship training and have provided muchneeded funding for equipment at ourtraining centres. They have workedwith us to develop better regulationregarding the use of TemporaryForeign Workers. They have consultedwith us on natural resource develop-ment projects, on mobility issues, onIndigenous inclusion, on bringing morewomen into the trades, on immigrationissues and the list goes on. The Liberals

have seen us as valuable partners asthey develop policies that impact thework we do building the infrastructurethat builds our economy.

If you reside in a constituency cur-rently represented by a Liberal or NDPMember of Parliament seeking re-elec-tion, we encourage you to vote forthat incumbent MP. If you reside in aconstituency represented by aConservative MP, we encourage you toconsider voting for the candidate fromeither the NDP or Liberal parties whohas the best chance to beat theConservative incumbent. We cannotafford more attacks on workers' rightsshould the Conservative form a majori-ty government. We do not endorsethe Green Party candidates at the pre-sent time.

Belonging to a trade union and vot-ing are fundamental rights in Canada. Ifyou don't get out to vote, you are sur-rendering your choice of the kind ofgovernment we get to others. Beheard! Vote!!

6 tradetalk BC BUILDING TRADES / Fall 2019

By Lon RobertsIf you don’t agree with decisions being made in this country, what

can you do about it?With the federal election just weeks away, people are talking

about jobs, pensions, infrastructure spending, bitumen and gasextraction and climate change. There’s a deluge of information onsocial media platforms. With all the noise, it’s hard to make anysense of it. Not surprisingly, cynicism about our electoral system andthe effectiveness of voting are also rising.

“Our political system continues to ignore the concerns of manygroups, but it remains an important way to exercise (political)voice,” said Kendra Strauss in the SFU Labour Studies Department.

Workers in the unionized construction industry have more cloutthan they think. “It’s important to remember that this is a group thatdoes have political influence,” she said.

Life for most construction workers usually requires waking upearly to go to jobs that offer almost no autonomy but are intellectu-ally and physically demanding. When their workday ends, they shiftgears to a completly different set of responsibilities related to look-ing after themselves and their families and friends. So, there’s little tono energy left by the end of the day to be an active citizen in theaffairs of state.

That’s where the union movement comes in and where you caninfluence the direction of your own union.

Canada’s Building Trades Unions and BC Building Trades have putsustained effort and resources into lobbying at the national andprovincial government levels. While the unionized construction mes-sages are reaching politicians, there are systemic economic and polit-ical conditions working at cross-purposes.

You just have to look at the hyperactive real estate market in theLower Mainland and major centres in the province to see that allthat new construction did not increase job security for BC BuildingTrades members. In fact, the non-union sector was allowed to growand it made it harder for younger union members and those withyoung families to find affordable housing close to those job sites. “Look at all the work that could be created if governmentsturned their priorities to building affordable housing for

everyone who needed it,” Strauss added. It may come as a surprise, but some good has come from the elec-

tion of U.S. President Donald Trump and the Brexit crisis in the U.K.“They have started to shine the light on how social media functions.We don’t even know who’s behind some of the messaging.

“With all the content and platforms, we have to work a lot harderand it takes more time” to find information that we can trust. “It’seasy to fall into echo-chambers that only confirm what we believe.

“When you’re on a job site and you hear someone with a strongopinion spouting off about immigration (in a way you disagree with),it’s not easy to challenge that,” she said, “but you can have yourown opinion and you can talk to other people. You might want totalk to someone who’s recently emigrated about their experience.”

Precariousness and lack of autonomy “have always been part ofthe capitalist system,” she said. There wasn’t just plantation slavery, there was bonded labour” (a practice in which employers

gave high-interest loans to workers whose entire families, includingchildren, had to work for low wages to pay off the debt). This is stillthe case in many countries.

The Canadian construction sector has not been as hard hit asother areas of the economy, but even we can see the treatment oftemporary foreign workers who are being denied paths to citizen-ship in an employer-driven labour market, Strauss said.

And yet, “the issues that working people care about are sub-merged by talk about free trade and balanced budgets.

“But I think that’s starting to change,” she added, “with the(union-led) Fight for $15 campaign, awareness of precariousness andthe affordability crisis.”

The future is filled with serious challenges. “We know changesare needed,” she said.

The unionized construction sector in Canada has shown leader-ship in the move to a sustainable and inclusive transition to a low-carbon economy. There is a genuine desire in the building trades toaddress climate change, Strauss added.

The BC Insulators Local 118 worked with John Calvert in HealthSciences at SFU to produce “The Union as Climate ChangeAdvocate” (2016) and “Promoting Climate Literacy in B.C.’sApprenticeship System” (2017).

Also in 2017, Canada’s Building Trades Unions commissioned“Jobs for Tomorrow: Canada’s Building Trades and Net ZeroEmissions.”

“Working people need to be at the core of that movement,”Strauss said. “There are new and better ways of building.”

Looking back, “it seems to have gotten worse,” she said. “But it’s

also gotten better because people in labour have been in the fore-front fighting every day for a better life for everyone.

“We know we have to make changes if we want a better worldfor our children and grandchildren and (as we age!) our elders.”

Are you thinkingabout not voting?By Lon Roberts

“If you’re not planning to vote, what are you going to doinstead?” asks Kendra Strauss from the SFU Labour StudiesDepartment.

“People feel frustrated and there is the temptation not tovote,” said said. “It’s an understandable position. But thedanger is that you give more power to people who dovote.” We’ve seen that happen in the U.S., the EU and evenOntario. “The result is that more power is being given tothose who already have it.”

Angry and frightened voters want to recover what they’velost or fear losing. So they follow along with very rich politi-cians who lash out at those who are caught in horrible cir-cumstances and have no power to change the system.

“We’re still living in a colonial state that continues toignore the concerns of many groups,” Strauss added. It tooksome groups in society – centuries in the case of FirstNations – to have the right to vote. And as difficult as lifecan be here, in a global economy, we cannot ignore theimpact of Canada’s actions that are adding to the suffering ofbillions of people living in the Global South.

“The reason politicians get away with things is because thepressure dissipates after they’re elected.”

Strauss rejects the notion that people vote against theirinterests.

Her research has revealed that, “people have a hugeinvestment in who they are in society and identify on socialand cultural lines, such as race, class, gender, religion.”

The right wing has done a much better job than the left ofunderstanding what is important to people’s identity, Strausssaid. The rise in white nationalism has found a home in neo-liberalism, which favours privatization, austerity, deregulation,

free trade and reductions in government spending. This iswhy working class people, whose ideology supports a so-called free market, will vote in favour of the neo-liberal can-didate even though they don’t benefit from it.

Even some political parties on the left have abandoned theidea of class politics to embrace free-market capitalism,” shesaid. They hope that a few adjustments can bring about abetter world for all.

There is a fear that if other people gain, we are going tolose. “I don’t think that’s the case,” Strauss said. “Everyonegains from a more just and equitable society. But some peo-ple will lose some power and privileges. It’s always been thecase…It comes down to what is most important.”

Safety tips for election engagement• Ask yourself what kind of city, community, and world

you want for yourself and those you care about.• Talk to people who you respect about where they get

their information from.• Talk about the issues with family members, friends and

co-workers.• Step out of your comfort zone. Check different sources

of information. • While the mainstream news media is being dramatically

under-funded, it still employs some investigative journal-ists. And there are podcasts and online journals offeringa wide range of perspectives on every issue and subjectyou can think of.

• Even though election promises are broken, read theelection platforms and listen to the debates. At least, wecan remind elected politicians when they’ve strayed fromtheir professed goals and beliefs.

• Know what you want from the Canadian government inthe short term and long term.

• Find out what the candidates in your riding are saying.• Vote. It’s one way to express your opinion. There are

others too, of course (see above).

8 tradetalk BC BUILDING TRADES / Fall 2019

Canada’s Building Trades Unions arepreparing for this fall’s federal election.The need to get out the vote is moreimportant than ever.

Before the Trudeau Liberals were elect-ed in 2015, the building trades had beenfighting for ground, and meetings with theHarper Conservatives came to no avail.

It has always been our policy to workwith political parties of all stripes toensure our members’ voices are repre-sented on important issues. However,during the years under Stephen Harper,the labour movement was under attackand it was nearly impossible to obtain ameeting. You may recall the anti-workerlegislation (like bills C-377 and C-525)that went ahead despite widespread oppo-sition.

When the Liberals were elected to amajority government in 2015, one of theirfirst moves was to pass Bill C-4 whichrepealed these two pieces of legislation.

The Liberals then went on to expandthe Canada Pension Plan and increase theGuaranteed Income Supplement for thecountry’s poorest senior citizens.

Over the past four years, the Liberalgovernment has taken a serious step for-ward to highlight the skilled trades as aviable and sustainable career choice by: • providing $25 million to unions to pur-

chase equipment and materials and testinnovative training methods

• introducing the Apprenticeship IncentiveGrant for Women

• providing $3.1 million to open threeprovincial Offices to Advance WomenApprentices

• investing $46 million over five years fora new program to develop and enhancepre-apprenticeship training that will helpCanadians, and particularly underrepre-sented groups such as women,Indigenous peoples, visible minorities,persons with disabilities and newcomers

The current government banned theimport and use of asbestos. That did nothappen by accident. Building trades mem-bers and our partners campaigned and lob-bied and finally found a government thatlistened. Now, we need to address thelegacy of asbestos and help people – oftenour members – working in construction,maintenance, refurbishment or demolition,who are exposed to this dreadful chemicalon a daily basis. We need a nationalasbestos agency and mesothelioma registryand a government that will do that work.

Although there is room for improve-ment, the federal Liberals have shown that

they are willing to work with us. They rat-ified the International Labour OrganizationConvention’s No. 98, which recognizesthe right to organize and collectively bar-gain and also prohibits anti-union discrimi-nation by the federal government.Trudeau’s government also reduced theemployment insurance waiting period fromtwo weeks to one, another issue we havebeen lobbying on for years.

Over 4,800 projects were approved inthe last four years that put our membersto work and created job opportunities forapprenticeship training.

What we want, from all parties runningin the next federal election, is the oppor-tunity for open and honest dialogue. Webuild Canada and we want to continue todo that for years to come regardless ofwho is in power. As we lead up to the fallelection, the CBTU team will do every-thing we can to be a source of objectiveand timely information so that you canmake the best decision when it comes tocasting your vote.

Above all, I hope that every one of ourover half a million members shows up atthe polls and mark the ballot – it’s anexercise of your democratic right. I hopeyou will make an independent, informeddecision. This election, like all others, willshape our future for the next four years.We don’t want voter regret. We’ve seenthis time and time again and, quite frankly,we can’t afford it.

Fall 2019 / BC BUILDING TRADES tradetalk 9

By Corry Anderson-FennellBCBT Communications Director

When Angeline Camille decided tobecome an electrician, one of the firstpeople she told about her new careerpath was her grandmother.

Grandma had some sage words ofadvice for her granddaughter: “Alwaysrespect yourself, respect the job andrespect the people you work with,even when they act like a horse’sbutt!”

Camille has never forgotten hergrandmother’s advice, and it’s servedher well in the 20 years since that firstday when she enrolled in a “try atrade” program at Thompson RiversUniversity in Kamloops. Camille ulti-mately opted for the electrical programbecause it didn’t have a year-long wait-ing list.

“When I started in trade school, Iwas the only First Nations woman tak-ing electrical in the six different classesthat were running at that time, and theonly woman in the four different weld-ing classes that were also going on atthe same time,” recalled Camille, whowas born and raised on the TK’eml’upste Secmepmc First Nations’ land.

With women making up less thanfive per cent of the skilled constructionworkforce in B.C., they are accus-tomed to being “first” or “only” in aclassroom or on a job site. But there ishope that’s starting to change with the

establishment of programs like the BCCentre for Women in the Trades(BCCWITT), Build TogetHER: Womenof the Building Trades, and a multitudeof other programs and incentives forwomen to enter and advance in thissector.

The latest figures from the IndustryTraining Authority provide some mea-sure of success for Building Tradesunions. The ITA’s July 2019 quarterlyreport shows local union trainingschools exceeding – and in some casesdoubling – the provincial average forwomen in the trades. According to thereport, 12 per cent of the apprenticesregistered to the District Council 38Joint Trade Society are women.Furthermore, nine per cent of DC 38’sapprentices are Indigenous, comparedto 5.9 per cent in the B.C. population.

Meanwhile, 12 per cent of theapprentices registered through theElectrical Joint Training Committee ofthe International Brotherhood ofElectrical Workers Local 213, arewomen, and eight per cent areIndigenous. The United Brotherhood ofCarpenters Local 1598, with the BCRegional Council of Carpenters, hasnine per cent women apprentices and10 per cent Indigenous apprentices.

And Camille’s own union, IBEWLocal 993, has a whopping 20 per centwomen apprentices, which is fourtimes the provincial average. Butwomen aren’t only advancing in thetrades as apprentices; they are takingon roles as union leaders, too.

Camille is her union’s Indigenous liai-son and an organizer, responsible forvarious aspects of membership devel-opment.

Organizing is also part of KCNewman’s job with Ironworkers Local97. As a business agent, she doeseverything from recruitment and orga-nizing to letting members know abouttraining and apprenticeship opportuni-ties. Though she experienced plenty ofharassment on the job throughout hercareer, Newman describes her path as“easy, compared to some,” referring tothe stories she hears from otherwomen ironworkers, now that she’s ina job that puts her in contact withwomen much more frequently.

“I see the harassment and bullying ofmy ironworker sisters much more nowthat I work in the union hall,” saysNewman. “And it makes me bothangry and sad to see these fantastic andskilled women being treated likethis. So I’m very proud to see that mysisters continue to go to work and dowhat they love, and fight for therespect they deserve.”

IBEW Local 213 electrician LisaLangevin is an assistant business manag-er with her union. In addition to nego-tiating collective agreements and man-aging member grievances, she’s alsoheavily engaged in the sector as anadvocate of the skilled trades overalland tradeswomen in particular, sittingon the ITA board of directors and thegovernance committee of BCCWITT,among other roles.

When women rise, unions shine

“There is always something new tolearn and these are great skills to havein life.” – Lisa Langevin, assistant business manager, IBEW Local 213

“I had to endure a lot because certainmen cannot handle the fact that I canwork as hard as them and I am anexcellent multitasker. I know that I amnot as strong as some men, but I canfigure out how to do the same job in abetter way suited for my strength.” –Angeline Camille, organizer, IBEW Local 993.

She describes her journey: “With thesupport of my union, I began doingmore advocacy for women in trades.The advocacy led to lobbying theprovincial government, and we weregiven funding to do some research onthe barriers to women in trades. Inegotiated the union hiring me directlyand contracting me out to do thework.”

Over at the BC Regional Council ofCarpenters, there doesn’t seem to be ahat – or a toolbelt – that KristineByers doesn’t wear. Byers is a BCRCCrepresentative, recruiter and instruc-tor. Her work includes signing up anddispatching new members, engagingwith community and employer organi-zations to promote the skilled trades,assisting shop stewards with job siteissues, participating on panels and focus

groups about the skilled trades andteaching the introduction to carpentryclass at the affiliated UA Piping IndustryCollege of B.C.

“It is not a nine-to-five, 40-hour-a-week kind of job,” Byers confides. “Butwhen you are able to accommodate orhelp that one person who has beenstruggling, it all seems worth it.”

Byers is on the executive of BuildTogetHER, the women’s committee ofthe BC Building Trades. She and SheetMetal Local 280’s Chelsea Blanchardrecently gave a presentation on oppor-tunities in the trades to women

inmates at Fraser Valley Institution.Byers says that’s the best thing abouther job: helping inspire and bring newpeople into the trades.

“Stop hesitating and doubting yourself.There’s no on better fit for this job thanyou. Try it out. If you don’t enjoy it or itdoesn’t work, you can always go backto the tools. That’s the beauty of thetrades, they’re versatile and adaptiveand so are you!” – Kristine Byers, organizer, BC Regional Council ofCarpenters

Red Seal and compulsory trades

Phil Venoit, IbEW Local 230, rSE

The Red Seal Program was estab-lished following the first NationalConference on Apprenticeship inTrades and Industries in Ottawa in1952 and first certificates were issuedseven years later. Construction craftworkers who pass their Red Seal tradesexam receive a Red Seal endorsementon their provincial or territorial tradecertificate. The Red Seal indicates that atradesperson has demonstrated theknowledge required for the nationalstandard in their trade. The endorse-ment sends a message of excellence toemployers, instills pride in skilled work-ers and facilitates labour mobility. It’s aneconomic solution for getting majorprojects built on time and on budgetregardless of where in the country pro-jects are built. 

Compulsory certification applies totrades in which journeypersons arerequired to have Red Seal certificationand apprentices must be registeredwith their provincial training authority. 

In the past, B.C. had as many as 11compulsory trades. Today we havenone, as the B.C. Liberals got confusedback in 2002 between “Red Seal” and“Red Tape” and, like a bull on Red Bullin a muleta store, gutted it all. 

So now, the companies winning con-

tracts to work on your high-rise eleva-tor, the gas feeding your home appli-ances, your kid’s school roof and yourhospital’s emergency lighting and evensending out that loaded cement truckcoming up behind you at the next redlight, may be dispatching people whoare not properly trained or qualified.  

Members of the building trades areresponsible for constructing and main-taining systems in the industrial plants,commercial and institutional facilities,residential dwellings, government build-ings and energy and transportationinfrastructure that make up the NorthAmerican landscape. 

Standards need to be re-establishedand enforced. We’ve seen the disasternews stories where mistakes and poorquality work have resulted in humancasualties and destruction of the envi-ronment.

However, unionized constructioncontractors follow the apprenticeshipprograms and training processes forRed Seal endorsement and compulsorycertification. And the benefits arenumerous and undeniable. 

Certifiable training protects workers’and the public’s safety and leads toreduced liability and liability insurancecosts, increased public and consumer

confidence and satisfaction and qualityconstruction. It even saves clients’money in the long run because it pro-tects project owners and taxpayersfrom costly deficiencies and accidentsand brings greater predictability to esti-mates. It’s better for communities, too,because it provides justifiably higherwages and greater job security andgood companies that build their reputa-tions on quality work.

Getting it done right the first time iswhat happens when you have compul-sory certification. 

In 2015, the Canadian Council ofDirectors of Apprenticeship (CCDA)announced the official recognition ofthe RSE (Red Seal Endorsement) forqualified skilled journeypersons.

Skilled trades professionals who dis-play the RSE designation let othertradespeople, the construction industryand the public know that they have theproper credentials while raising aware-ness of and promoting the Red SealProgram. 

If you earned it, remember to use it!

In the rapidly changing construction industry, buildingtrades affiliates are continually upgrading and modernizingtheir training and apprenticeship programs and schools tomeet new challenges.

The Sheet Metal Workers Local 280 has undertaken themost comprehensive redesign in over 40 years, accordingto training coordinator Jud Martell.

“We’re harmonizing all of the federal and provincialrequirements for our Red Seal training programs,” he said.“And we have added a whole new series of training andeducation courses in our program that cover a range oftopics our school hasn’t taught in the past. It’s a bigchange.”

He said the sheet metal trades have become far moretechnical and diversified over the past two decades with thegrowth of digital computer and laser technologies, dozensof new materials and methods for installing them and all therelated safety concerns. “There’s been a whole generationof change in our trades,” he said. “There are now over 80different types of materials we use today, from about sevenor eight in the 1970s.”

The changes in the market and working conditions havecompelled training schools to become more responsive andmore quickly, Martell said.

“Back in the 1970s, the school simply decided what courses and training it would sponsor,” he said. “Members who wanted additional training would have toget it on their own.”

Now, however, Martell said the local has shifted its policyto an assertive program that prepares members for thechanges it can see coming.

Currently, there are four levels of apprenticeship with sixweeks of training per level in addition to on-the-job worktraining. Starting this year, there will be eight weeks oftraining per level.

“We’ve been trying to get these changes in our appren-ticeships since 1999,” Martell said. “That’s when we reallystarted to see the need to modernize. It took a while to getsome of the contractors on board. But eventually we goteverything in place.”

Martell said the changes were ready to be implemented in2008, when the North American fiscal near-crash that crip-pled much of the construction sector. The resulting wave ofcancelled and delayed projects created huge instability inthe industry. The new training and apprenticeship programwas put on ice until this year.

“It was all taken off the table,” he said. “It was only lastyear that we started to make more progress.”

But Martell said global economic upheaval is only one fac-tor working against advancing and modernizing trades train-ing, not only for sheet metal workers, but for all trades.

Deliberate anti-union labour legislation of the previousprovincial government and underfunding of apprenticeshipprograms resulted in fewer properly trained workers tomeet market demand.

“We’re moving ahead despite decades of governmentintransigence,” Martell said. “All the anti-union laws andundermining of union construction has left less time fortraining over the years. But now with a new more labour-friendly government, we’re getting back on track.”

Good pay, great supportwith a union job

While the hourly rate paid to con-struction workers in the union andnon-union sectors may seem equal,they are not. A union wage includestraining that is highly relevant andongoing through mentorships withother experienced people in thetrades. The training leads to jobsbecause it is directed by a partnershipbetween labour, education andemployers.

Training costs are covered by collec-tive agreements, which means that thenegotiations are done for you. Trainingunder a joint union/employer boardprovides sponsorship regardless ofwho your contractor is.

Young workers are in high demandas older construction workers retire.

If you work in the trades, you likelylearned the majority of your skills onthe job. You might have been luckyenough to have had an expert jour-neyperson guide you through newprocesses that you needed to learn, orunluckily been thrown onto unfamiliarjobs and yelled at if you made a mis-take.

The culture of job sites and theworkforce have changed profoundlyover the last decades in the buildingtrades. An increasingly diverse work-force in environments that requireconstant learning means communica-tion is more critical than ever before.Tradespeople need to have the exper-tise to do the work and the ability toteach others how to do it, and both tasks require very differentskill sets.

As a journeyperson, you need to beable to transfer your knowledge toapprentices. As an apprentice, youneed to be able to ask questions ifthere’s something you’re not under-standing. That’s the basis of the con-struction industry focused MentorshipMatters program.

SkillPlan developed the mentorshiptraining program as part of its work-force development service to the BCBuilding Trades. Chief ExecutiveOfficer Kyle Downie said SkillPlanhelps 1,500 apprentices every year whoare working toward their Red Seal cer-tification, and the mentorship programgrew out of what they saw on the jobsite. Downie said, “There was frustra-tion on both sides, the mentor andapprentice.”

The solution is to teach workplaceleaders how to train and mentor oth-ers. Organizations select trainers to

attend a one-day train-the-trainerMentorship Matters session where theylearn how to prepare their workers tobe stronger mentors and apprentices.Once those trainers receive the train-ing, they go back to their workplaceswith a toolbox of best practices thatallows them to deliver a four-hourmentor or apprentice workshop toworkers.

The program’s workbook containspractice communications exercises andvideos. Experienced workers are guidedthrough the responsibilities of a mentorand on-the-job leader. They are taughta six-step approach to teach skills thatincludes techniques for demonstrating,evaluating and providing feedback,including intergenerational communica-tion strategies.

For apprentices, the workbook pro-vides examples and exercises to helpthem identify various learning styles and

associated strategies to gain the mostfrom verbal and practical instruction sothat they can take charge of their learn-ing. Newer workers can use the work-book to practise effective communica-tions strategies designed to help themmaximize on-the-job learning opportunities.

Phil Davis is the managing director ofthe Electrical Joint Training Committee,which manages administration for up to900 electrical apprentices at a time.The EJTC has partnered with SkillPlanto deliver Mentorship Matters. Davissaid the program is effective because itenhances the ability of in-house expertsto mentor and builds capacity withintheir organization. He said, “workplaceretention is a challenge and MentorshipMatters helps by giving people a solidplan to create a productive, safe work-ing environment.”

Davis is proud that the program isCanadian-based and backed by unionsand industry. He said finishing and elec-trical trades in the United States andCanada have adopted the plan at 24training centres.

SkillPlan is leading a national Returnon Investment research project aboutmentorship and Downie reported that,“engagement is high with mentors andapprentices wanting to participate inthe research.” He said, “with mentor-ship training, we’re noticing a differencein the team working together, the effi-ciency of knowledge transfer, work-place safety and developing strongercrew dynamics.”

“We will be meeting with workers,union leaders, policy makers and com-munity advocates, having a hands-ontraining exchange and learning aboutIndia’s industry, and building relation-ships to help improve the lives ofwomen construction workers aroundthe globe,” explained Katy Rhodes, anelectrician with the InternationalBrotherhood of Electrical WorkersLocal 213.

Rhodes and Antoniette Yap, a mill-wright with the Millwrights MachineErectors and Maintenance Union Local2736, are among five Canadiantradeswomen who will journey toKerala, India to try to help women construction workers achieve equality.

Women make up close to 50 percent of the construction workforce inbooming India. However, they are paidjust one-third to one-half of what menare paid in the same roles, and theyare given the heaviest and most dan-gerous jobs. Many report to workbarefoot or in sandals and have noprotective gear.

“I hope to better understand the

international industry to support tradeswomen globally,” said Rhodes. “I hope to enhance my leadership skillsby following trailblazing giants fromNorth America and India. And I hope to encourage and

support these women.”The cost for the delegation is

approximately $3,500 per person.Affiliates wishing to contribute to thefundraising effort can [email protected]

28 tradetalk BC BUILDING TRADES / Fall 2019

By Megan Terepocki

In just two years, according toLabour Minister Harry Bains, the NDPgovernment has made major changesto restore balance in the policies andlaws that protect B.C. workers andcreate more stability in labour relations.

Bains spoke to Tradetalk about theimportance of investing taxpayer dol-

lars in local workers, local companiesand local communities in B.C.

The Community BenefitsAgreements, for example, establishedin 2018, ensure that major projects inB.C. will be built by union workers andemploy people who live close to thoseprojects. The agreements will addressthe lack of skilled labour that hasemerged over the last 15 years by investing in apprenticeships

and training, said Bains.Those groups who’ve been largely

left out of major construction projects,like women and Indigenous people, willbe given an opportunity to participate,he said. “For the first time (for manyof them) they will have the opportuni-ty to work in the construction indus-try and make a good living.”

Bains also pointed to highlights fromthe recent Labour Relations Codereview. The code had not seen anupdate since 1992. “This has been tothe detriment of working people. Sowe are changing that, bringing balanceback.”

The reduction of the certificationvote from 10 to five days will make iteasier for workers to join unions with-out interference, he said. It givesworkers the ability to have remedialcertification if employers are interfer-ing. Although the NDP governmentwanted automatic certification (aftersigning cards and without requiring avote as well), “the Green Party said itwould not support any LabourRelations Code changes if there wasautomatic certification,” Bains said.

By M. MalatestaSome key long-anticipated B.C. Labour Code changes,

brought in by the provincial NDP government, were put to avote in June.

Two of the proposed changes – union certification by cardcount and longer raiding periods – were not supported by theGreens or Liberals.

“In the era of climate change and global consequences oureconomy needs changing,” said investigative journalist andCanadian Dimension writer Alex Cosh. “Those changesrequire a strong organized working class which means strongeffective unions. The Green Party is still following an outdatedneo-liberal agenda to give more power to employers.”Reducing raid times means giving more sway to organizationslike CLAC (the Christian Labour Association of Canada) andundermining legitimate unions. Card check (for certification)

would give more freedom to workers and allow more work-ers to organize. That is vital for the new economy.”

Cosh said the NDP’s Labour Code changes will help facili-tate innovative and inclusive economic policies such as theGreen New Deal being promoted in the U.S.

Like the Roosevelt administration’s 1933 New Deal, whichled to a massive economic overhaul and reform program toaddress the crippling job losses, poverty and famine of theGreat Depression, the Green New Deal seeks to move theU.S. economy away from fossil-fuel dependency and direct ittoward more sustainable energy sources, funding of social ser-vices, a sharing of wealth and reducing the ability of capitalelites and corporations to monopolize markets and keepalmost all profits for themselves.

The Green New Deal was developed in 2008 by a British-based organization consisting of labour, community and eco-logical organizations, as well as progressive business, govern-ment and economics individuals.

“The imperative is to bring labour unions and environmen-talists together in a common cause,” Cosh said. “It looks atoptions like building retrofits, green jobs, just transition pro-grams for resource workers and community economic devel-opment – not just focused on local communities but on aninternational level, linking communities directly across theglobe.”

Some BC Building Trades affiliates are already engaged inseveral of the proposals put forth by the Green New Deal,such as green retrofits of buildings to make them more energyefficient, removing poisonous and environmentally damagingmaterials (such as asbestos) from buildings and workplaces andinvesting pension funds in ethical and sustainable development.

Cosh added that some of his concerns about the GreenParty apply to the NDP as well. He listed the continued down-playing of its original CCF (Co-operative CommonwealthFederation) commitments to economic democracy; the contin-ued reliance of NDP provincial governments on fossil fuel-based energy development and export and the seeming lack ofpriority that governments place on the party’s current envi-ronmental policies (which include many aspects of what theGreen New Deal is promoting). However, Cosh added, manyNDP elected officials are actively promoting the Green NewDeal and similar measures – something generally lacking in theGreen Party.

“We’re seeing a lot of town hall meetings hosted by individ-ual NDP representatives. But there needs to be more cross-party discussion.”

Green Party opposes union workers’ rights

in the construction industry. Bains saidthe government wanted workers to begiven an opportunity every year, butthe Greens and Liberals would notsupport it. If workers are covered by athree-year agreement, a raid will onlybe allowed when the contract expires.

The establishment of successorshiprights were brought in to help union-ized service workers in areas like foodservices and care homes who are vul-nerable to contracting out. The newsuccessorship rights will protect col-lective agreements, seniority rights andjobs. “These are areas that manyworkers have struggled with all their

lives. Sometimes a contractor changedfour or five times and they would losetheir seniority each time.”

Major changes have also been madeto the Employment Standards Act. Theminister said that B.C. is one of thefew jurisdictions that have allowedchildren as young as 12 years old towork in dangerous industries like min-ing and construction. “We raised thatage to 16.”

Other highlights include eliminatingthe discriminatory liquor server’s wage(82 per cent are women) and ensuringthat workers are entitled to keep tips.

Victims of domestic and sexual vio-lence will be able to take a leave ofabsence without fear of losing a job.

The period over which employeescan recover wages payable has nowbeen extended from six to 12 monthsor more.

Over the last two years, the govern-ment has invested in labour by increas-ing the minimum wage to $15.20 byJune 2021. The Temporary ForeignWorker Protection Act has beenlaunched to prevent exploitation offoreign workers. As well, theWorkers’ Compensation Board isundergoing a review, to improve theclaims process and to restore faith inthe board.

Bains said these changes are just thebeginning and we can expect to see alot more in the near future.

By David Hogben

The first of thousands of constructionworkers — especially local people, FirstNations and women — to be employedunder B.C.’s new Community BenefitsAgreements (CBAs) put their tools towork in July widening a stretch of theTransCanada Highway about 42 kilome-tres east of Revelstoke.

Members of the Teamsters Local213, LiUNA 1611 and the InternationalUnion of Operating Engineers (IUOE)Local 115 were the first on the jobclearing, surveying and excavating thesite on the steep Rocky Mountainslopes.

“Our first workers are now on theground,” said Greg Johnson, B.C.Infrastructure Board director of indus-try relations in an interview. “It’s notparticularly big, but it’s a challengingconstruction project all the same.”

The Illecillewaet project includesimprovements and expansion of thebrake-check area to allow up to 15commercial trucks, acceleration anddeceleration lanes and four-laning of adangerous two-kilometre stretch ofCanada’s national highway.

The Illecillewaet project is the firstpart of a CBA to continue four-laningparts of the congested TransCanadaHighway between Kamloops and theAlberta border.

It also precedes two other CBAs thatwill employ thousands of constructionworkers on the Pattullo BridgeReplacement and the Broadway Subwayprojects in Metro Vancouver.

Work is expected to start on the

three-year Pattullo Bridge project inspring 2020 and the contractor for theBroadway Subway project is expectedto be chosen by mid-2020, according tothe provincial Transportation Ministry.

Workers on all Community BenefitsAgreements are hired by the B.C.Infrastructure Board, which emphasizeshiring locals, First Nations and women.

Of the first 16 workers on theIllecillewaet project, 11 were women,trainees, or Revelstoke locals, Johnsonsaid. Piledrivers and carpenters areexpected to join the Teamsters, LiUNAand IUOE members on site in 2020.The Illecillewaet project is to peak atabout 25 to 28 construction workers inthe 2019 construction season andbetween 75 and 100 in the 2020 season.

B.C.’s strong economy is forecast toface a shortage of some 8,000 skilledconstruction by 2016, and B.C.Infrastructure Benefits (BCIB) chairAllan Bruce said recruiting, training andretaining workers from underrepre-sented groups is critical to meeting thedemand for workers.

BCIB, the new provincial Crown cor-poration responsible for employingworkers on CBAs, is meeting with fiveFirst Nations groups in the region:Splatsin, Simpcw, Little Shuswap, AdamsLake and Neskonlith, and groups suchas the B.C. Centre For Women in theTrades to recruit workers.

In addition to skills and safety train-ing, all workers hired on theIllecillewaet and other CBA projectsreceive cultural competency training“so that some of the conflicts that may have taken place on other

projects are minimized.“We are trying to do our best to

minimize that, to ensure that peoplefeel safe and welcome on this job,”Bruce said.

As a former IUOE crane operator,training instructor and training institutemanager, Bruce understands the bene-fits of training B.C. workers.

“I have seen the value that a careerwith a family-supporting job gives toindividuals, families and communities,”Bruce said.

“I think there is a tremendous oppor-tunity under this CBA to really get thatright for more people. A higher per-centage of people who enter will com-plete their journeyperson’s status.”

The benefits go beyond the obviousfinancial boost that workers and theirfamilies receive, and extend to thecommunities as well.

“It attracts further investment insmall communities. And the province asa whole,” he said. “So it will be a legacyfor B.C. as well.”

Those benefits are just part of whatanti-union analysts leave out when theycompare the costs and benefits of pub-lic sector construction projects donewith or without Community BenefitsAgreements.

Some projects with CBAs have high-er labour and training costs, but greatercertainty to complete on time and onbudget as they also include no-strikeand no-lockout provisions.

And the training of local, FirstNations and female construction work-ers leaves B.C. with a lot more of valuethan just a widened highway, a newbridge or a subway line.

“Those benefits to the local commu-nities, to the individuals and to theprovince of B.C. (that come from)building a workforce are huge,” Bruce said.

CBAs support our statedpurpose: WE Build B.C.

By Jason McBain, Case Manager ConstructionIndustry Rehabilitation Plan

The opioid crisis is having a dispro-portionate impact on people whowork in the construction industry andstigma is a barrier that prevents manyfrom seeking help or letting othersknow about the issues they are facing.

Stigma is negative attitudes toward agroup of people that can includestereotyping, labeling, judgment, preju-dice, discrimination and isolating indi-viduals. The barriers that are createdcan result in feelings of shame andguilt, which lead to using substances alone. And this greatly

increases the risk of overdose.

The most common forms are:Social stigma – negative beliefs and

attitudes expressed by the public andmedia

Structural stigma, which can beexpressed by first responders, health-care professionals, government repre-sentatives or other organizations whenthey ignore people affected by sub-stance use, don’t take their requestsseriously, don’t connect them withhealth or social services or designhealth and social services that enhancestigma (such as withholding servicesuntil substance use is better managed)

Self-stigma is created when someoneexperiences social and structural stig-ma and internalizes it and applies thesenegative thoughts and feelings to themselves

What happens when someonefaces stigma?

When someone faces stigma, theycan experience a wide range of emo-tions: fear, anger, shame, rejection,hopelessness, grief, distress, isolation, aloss of a feeling of value or self-worth,loss of control, loneliness and evensuicidal thoughts. Experiencing socialor structural stigma increases self-stig-ma and decreases the likelihood ofreaching out for help again in thefuture.

Stigma can affect a person’s ability tofind housing and continued employ-ment, which has a negative effect onoverall health and quality of life. It alsodiscourages the person from followingthrough on a treatment program.

How to confront stigma:We can begin by using “person-

first” language. This means referring tothe person before focusing on ordescribing their behaviour or sub-stance use. This acknowledges that acondition, illness or behaviour is notthat person’s defining characteristic.For example:• use “people who use drugs” or

“people with a substance use disor-der” instead of “addict”

• use “person who occasionally usesdrugs” instead of “recreational druguser”

• use “people with lived experience”or “people in recovery” instead of“a person who is clean” Use neutral, medically accurate ter-

minology. There are a multitude offactors contributing to substance use,ranging from personal or psychologicalfactors to social, environmental andpolitical ones.

Instead of “substance/drug abuse”or “misuse” use:• “substance/drug use”• “substance use disorder/opioid use

disorder”• “problematic (substance) use”• “(substance) dependence”

Use language that promotes recov-ery and respects autonomy by usingwords that convey optimism and sup-port of recovery, while respecting theautonomy of the person who usessubstances.

Use “not in agreement with thetreatment plan” instead of “non-com-pliant.”

Listen with compassion and withoutjudgment. Speak up if you hear thatsomeone is being disrespectedbecause of their substance use andeducate others on using non-judgmen-tal, stigma-free language.

By Roberta Sheng-Taylor Manager Industry & LabourServices, Construction

Construction has unique challengeswhen it comes to workplace noise andhearing conservation programs.

On a construction site, noise levelsfluctuate depending on the environ-ment and tools involved. You need tobe able to hear crucial instructions andbe aware of equipment or radios whileprotecting your hearing. If there is onlyone type of hearing protection provid-ed on site, it could be the wrong size,might not fit properly or block toomuch sound. Any of these factors canlead to workers removing their hear-ing protection, which puts them at riskof damaging their hearing.

Hand tools, power tools and heavyequipment all create noise at a levelthat will cause hearing loss over time.If you find yourself having to shoutwhen within one meter of anotherperson, the noise level is likely reach-ing excessive and damaging levels.Exposure to sounds louder than 85decibels can cause permanent hearingloss. Common tools found on con-struction sites tend to be well overthe limits of 85 decibels (dB), withsome equipment reaching levels as highas 115 dBs, according to a study doneby the U.S. Center for DiseaseControl and Prevention in 2016(Hearing Impairment Among Noise –Exposed Workers – United States,2003-2012). When it comes to hearingloss, construction ranks second tomanufacturing.

A 2016 WorkSafeBC study showedthat 24 per cent of construction work-ers under the age of 21 are not wear-ing their hearing protection at workcompared to other age groups in thesame industry. In addition, youngworkers in construction are less likelyto wear hearing protection as com-pared to young workers in otherindustries.

As well as losing your ability to con-tinue to work, hearing loss can causeyou to miss out on social conversa-tions and be excluded from interac-tions with family and friends.

WorkSafeBC accepts roughly 2,000hearing loss claims every year and paysapproximately $27 million a year inhearing aids and hearing aid services.

Prevention is keyWhile noise-induced hearing loss is

permanent, it is totally preventable. It’simportant to have a HearingConservation Program in place at your

workplace. Make sure your employer’sprogram includes:• noise measurement• education and training• engineering controls• hearing protection• posting warnings of

noise-hazard areas• hearing tests• an annual program review

Choose the right hearingprotection

Even when noise does not seem tobe very loud, exposure over time cancause long-term serious damage, somake sure you are wearing the righthearing protection for your workplace.

There is no one-size-fits-all solutionto noise protection. While some pro-tection might block too much sound,there are many styles of hearing pro-tection that allow workers to hearspeech and other sounds while stillblocking the harmful noise. In manycircumstances, a class B push in styleearplug or class B earmuffs are thebest. Employers are required to pro-vide multiple options of appropriatehearing protection so that all workersare protected from hazardous noise.

Get your hearingtested

Because all con-struction workersare exposed tonoise levels highenough to causepermanent hearingdamage, you arerequired to have ahearing test everyyear. Employers canarrange to havehearing testersbring hearing testvans right to the jobsite. Workers donot have to pay forthis test. The tech-nician will explainthe results to youand give you a wal-let card with yourhearing test results.You need this hear-ing test card to beable to work onconstruction sites.

By Merrill O’DonnellBCBT Workers’ Advocate

It came as a welcome, although long overdue, news flashthat the B.C. NDP government was launching a review ofthe workers’ compensation system. The labour communityhas been calling for this review for 17 years. Major changeswere needed to cure the draconian revisions promulgatedby the BC Liberal government in 2002 at the behest ofbusiness community. The new NDP government took ourconcerns for workers to heart and has taken meaningfulsteps in the right direction. The BC Building Tradesapplaud them for doing so.

Janet Patterson, a long-time labour lawyer who possessesa wealth of knowledge has been tasked with assessing:• WorkSafeBC’s case management of injured workers• its policies and practices that support injured workers’

return to work through a gender and diversity-based analysis

• how best to modernize the organization's culture toreflect a worker-centric service delivery model

• potential amendments that would improve the Workers’Compensation Act While hearing directly from injured workers was the

focus on the public consultation, the reviewer also heardfrom workers’ advocates, family members of injured work-ers, union leaders, employers, business associations, med-ical practitioners, Indigenous people and the legal commu-nity. Alyssa Alexander, the BCBT’s administrative assistant,contacted the long list of members that the council hasrepresented over the last eight years.

When I made my oral presentation to the WCB Reviewon June 24 in Vancouver, I focused my fire on what I per-ceive to be some of the most glaring shortcomings of theexisting system and how best to fix them. I called for:• restructuring the board of directors to provide increased

worker representation (e.g., three worker representativesrecommended by the labour community and one injuredworker to represent the public interest)

• spending the massive surplus ($2.9 billion surplus and a$6.5 billion reserve generated by short-changing injuredworkers ) on improving compensation and prevention sup-ports for workers without giving one red penny back toemployers

• increasing financial compensation for injured workers bybasing all benefits on 100 per cent of injured workers’earnings, reinstating disability pensions for life and reinstat-ing the dual system to enable workers to get fairer awards

• meaningful vocational rehabilitation with substantial careertraining and durable job opportunities by pressing employ-ers to accommodate injured workers so they can return totheir pre-injury positions or be retrained for other tasks

• eliminating sections 99(2) and 250(2) of the act in order toenable officers to make decisions based on the merits andjustice of each case

• removing the “labour relations exclusion” provision inSection 5.1 because it rejects claims for bullying, harass-ment and other forms of unacceptable behaviour in theworkplace

• terminating (with extreme prejudice!) the PsychologicalDisability Awards Committee, notorious for granting mostpaltry and absurd disability awards to workers that fail to

compensate for loss of earning capacity and insult workers’intelligence and dignity

• transitioning to a long overdue worker-centred claim man-agement model that treats injured workers like humanbeings instead of a number on an employer’s balance sheetThe labour movement has high expectations of

Patterson’s final report, which will be submitted toMinister of Labour Harry Bains this fall. It will take time tofix all the shortcomings but we do expect significantimprovements. If they are not forthcoming, the labourcommunity will marshal its forces yet again for future bat-tles. As they say in Cuba: Hasta la Victoria siempre! Alwaystoward victory!
