Overview

Canada’s Building Trades Unions (CBTU) is the Canadian Office of the
Building and Construction Trades Department, AFL-CIO (BCTD), and represents more than half a million Canadian construction workers—members of 14 international unions who work in more than 60 different trades and occupations. CBTU is part of the Building Trades Department of the American Federation of Labor – Congress of Industrial Organizations (AFL-CIO), which works to ensure decent pay and benefits, safe jobs, respect and fair treatment for more than 12 million members of 56 unions throughout North America. CBTU’s Executive Board consists of the senior representatives of each of the affiliated construction unions. The Board co-ordinates the work of the affiliates and local and provincial councils, and speaks on behalf of Canadian construction workers. CBTU is responsible for championing the labour position on a wide range of national-level issues including fair taxation, pensions, workers’ compensation, employment insurance, and health and welfare programs. CBTU also advocates on behalf of policies that support education, secure retirement, universal access to healthcare, safe streets and a clean environment.

Advocacy Initiatives

Other Initiatives

Workforce Development

CBTU has been vocal in their concerns about impending labour shortages that are associated with retirement of Canada’s baby boomers. They have encouraged and supported programming that encourages underrepresented groups in trades, such as women, youth and Aboriginal people to pursue skilled trades careers. http://www.buildingtrades.ca/where-we-stand/government-affairs-and-public-policy http://www.buildingtrades.ca/what-we-do/recruitment-and-retention
