Labour Day is, first and foremost, a day to mark workers\u2019 sacrifices and contributions to our country. For the Building Trades, it\u2019s a day to show our pride in the things we build, and the things that are possible because of what we build &#8211; hospitals, bridges, skyscrapers, highways, and much more. Canada is powered by workers.<\/p>\n\n<p>With the rising cost of living, workers and the value of work have gotten more attention recently, with newfound support for organized labour. \u201cThis Labour Day weekend, let\u2019s remember to thank workers and unions for many of the working conditions Canadians now enjoy, like weekends, benefits, and the eight-hour workday. They\u2019re the result of advocacy and sacrifices made by working Canadians decades ago,\u201d says Executive Director of Canada\u2019s Building Trades Unions, Sean Strickland. Canada\u2019s Building Trades Unions are currently advocating for skilled tradespeople by urging the federal government to pass legislation on Investment Tax Credits \u2013 financial incentives for employers when they adhere to labour standards outlined in the 2023 federal budget.<\/p>\n\n<p>From Canada\u2019s Building Trades Unions, and on behalf of unionized skilled tradespeople across the country, happy Labour Day!<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This Labour Day, let\u2019s remember the reason for the holiday.
