CMAW Training

Hey All- Just a quick shout out to remind everyone it is raiding season in BC.... July and August is open season for Unions to try and poach each other's members and contractors, and the International (UBCJA) has been hard at it trying to convince CMAW members that it is better to have a large American Union represent their interests. This is a great opportunity for us all to reflect on whether we want to stick with an independent, democratic, Canadian Union run by trades people or whether we want to go with a large, undemocratic American Union run by bureaucrats.
If you are asked to "JUMP SHIP" this summer, please consider first whether the ship you are jumping to is sinking

Good day CMAW Canada members,

It's that time of year again! We're looking for submissions for the David Flynn Memorial Bursary.

Interested applicants are invited to submit a 500 to 1,000 word essay focusing on any aspect of trade unionism.

Six bursaries of $500 will be awarded annually (one from each district area) with an additional $1,000 awarded to the applicant who submits the top essay.

All applications must be submitted by June 30, 2026.

We look forward to reading your submissions!

New BC Conservative legislation will put local BC jobs at risk and will tie government's hands on securing skilled trades. Learn more and add your name to stop the new law: http://protectbcjobs.ca
