News from the BC Federation of Labour:
The British Columbia & Yukon Territory Building & Construction Trades Council today held a protest rally at Library Square in Vancouver to keep pressure on the federal government for allowing 50 U.S. Ironworkers to take jobs as rod workers at the Victoria Arena. The company is paying non-union foreign workers at rates far below union scale, despite the loss of 36,000 B.C. jobs just last month.
Organizers are planning another protest for Tuesday, March 16 at 12 noon. Please join the building trades and other union members at noon tomorrow: HRDC - Regional Headquarters - Library Square - 300 W. Georgia St. Vancouver
