The forestry sector has always played a key role in Canada’s economic health. Now more than ever, it needs strong government action to ensure that it can continue to sustainably support workers’ families, their communities, as well as many of our public services.

Right now, thousands of USW members and forestry workers could be in danger of losing their livelihoods. Decisions are being made that could affect the future of the forestry employment industry in British Columbia.

Thousands of USW, & forestry members could lose their jobs if wrong decisions are made affecting the future of the forestry employment industry in British Columbia.

We need to tell Premier John Horgan that walking the walk on labour values means saying NO to damaging policies that harm workers and their families. It takes LESS THAN ONE MINUTE to send a letter so your voice is heard in Victoria. PLEASE ACT NOW!

USW Local 2009 members support healthy jobs in forestry. We are asking Premier Horgan to stand with us in favour of UNITY AND STRENGTH FOR WORKERS.

We need to tell the government that we support a low-carbon wood industry that lowers British Columbia’s environmental footprint but that it must also protect the forestry industry and it’s viability. We are asking members and advocates to send a letter today in support of forestry workers! Even if you are not working directly in the industry, we know that the reduction in revenue and jobs will affect all communities.
