…The question at the ballot box won’t be about David Eby’s approval ratings or whether the Conservatives are too chaotic. …For Steelworkers, the question is much simpler: how do we protect what we’ve won while marching forward to achieve vital gains. …In the forest sector, the situation has been tough. Closures, curtailments, US duties and tariffs, and real barriers to getting fibre to our mills have cost Steelworker jobs. The BC NDP government has put adjustment supports in place, [but it’s not] enough. We have been pushing for action to stabilize and increase fibre supply, keep mills operating and protect good union jobs in logging and manufacturing. We demand… a real Working Forest that lives up to its name, protects the industrial land base and ensures communities benefit from the granting of logging rights; a fulsome forest industrial strategy that gets the maximum jobs – good, union jobs – from every tree harvested.
