You know it’s a great day when you get to meet with a current premier and a former premier to talk about issues that matter to members!

Service Rep Chris Mansel joined IUOE reps in support of striking @bcgeu.bsky.social & @pea.org workers in Prince George. Government workers across BC are now in 4th week of job action, w/14,000 workers walking the line. #FeelThePower @weareliuna.bsky.social

🏈 Proud to partner w/ BC Lions Orange Shirt Day Game in support of Orange Shirt Society/Indian Residential School Survivors. “Our partnership allows us to use the rallying power of sport to bring attention to legacy of the residential school system," said business mgr Nav Malhotra. surl.li/ytlqhe

Well, happy #ThrowbackThursday! We've been building, maintaining, securing, protecting and caring for our communities for 122 years. We're built to last. Some throwback photos to enjoy! #Solidarity

We are disgusted by the decision to order striking Air Canada @cupescfp.bsky.social workers back to work. This sabotages the basic principle of fair negotiation. Further, it cripples the bargaining process and tips the scales in favour of the employer. #Solidarity with striking Air Canada workers.

Back in the day, a worker died every 33 hours on the job.
Unions changed that.

#Solidarity isn’t just about wages—it’s about making sure we all make it home.

A huge, TY to John Zerucelli, Secretary of State for Labour, for meeting with us today! We had excellent conversations about working together to meet Canada's infrastructure goals.

Let's build the future together!

These walking talking tools have a nifty message: Local construction projects should benefit local communities. We tend to agree. Visit BuildUpBC.ca to learn more.

Apprentices in our L1 Construction Craft Worker class put in a sidewalk apron at Semiahmoo Fish & Game Club. It's the 3rd year of this successful program, which provides @surreyschools.bsky.social students the opportunity to get training & work for B&B Contracting Group.

Who's smiling now! Obviously the workers at Amazon in Delta. Congrats to @unifor.org on this feat. #feelthepower #solidarity www.biv.com/news/unifor-...

Huge TY to Energy Minister Adrian Dix for meeting to talk about how our members can help build energy networks in BC. We are eager to do our part to build the North Coast Transmission Line to deliver clean power to industries and businesses as quickly & efficiently as possible.

Today is National Indigenous Peoples Day! We celebrate First Nations, Inuit & Métis culture, & give a special shoutout to emerging Indigenous artist Sam Smith, who designed two Indigenous logos for us, reflecting our construction & service members.

🚨BREAKING NEWS🚨 Today Bill C-58, the NDP's anti-scab bill, comes into force. This didn’t happen by accident. The NDP introduced anti-scab bills 9 times over 15 years. The Liberals and Conservatives voted to block it, but we never gave up. We forced the government to act for workers.

Happy Friday, everyone! If you have the weekend off work, know that weekends only exist because of the blood, sweat, toil and tears of the Labour Movement. #FeelThePower #LiUNA bcfed.bsky.social

Don’t let the "big fish" call the shots.

Organize. Mobilize. Fight back. WIN.

When workers stand alone, we get pushed around. But when we RISE together as #LIUNA? We build POWER that can’t be ignored.

Ready to make your union stronger?

Day 2 at LiUNA Canada #Charlottetown2025! #FeelThePower

Lorraine Little of @enbridge.bsky.social delivers renewed sense of optimism to LiUNA’s Canadian conference #Charlottetown2025 with outstanding growth outlook but cautions “now is the time to take action.” #LabourersRising #FeelThePower

Best ticket to a better life is a #LiUNA union card, and everyone needs to know it: Our Northwest Regional manager Bob Abbott at #Charlottetown2025: “We should be screaming at the top of our lungs about our successes.” @weareliuna.bsky.social #Feelthepower #LabourersRising

Our Canadian director Joe Mancinelli offers succinct but insightful summary of Trump’s performance & economic policies: “inept.” Meanwhile in Canada, working hard advocating for Labourer jobs & advancing resource sector. @weareliuna.bsky.social #Charlottetown2025 #LabourersRising #FeelThePower

PM Mark Carney’s omission of Minister of Labour in his cabinet called appalling by our Canadian director Joe Mancinelli. Indicates lack of respect for labour movement. Hear, hear! #FeelthePower #Charlottetown2025
