Manitoba Building Trades Council

Warm holiday wishes from Manitoba Building Trades. We are proud to support the @ChristmasCheerB with a $5,000 donation this holiday season. mbtrades.ca/holiday-wishes…

We’ve been clear: public projects should build public value. Budget 2025 moves closer to that — with union labour, training pathways, and community benefits recognized. #mbpoli #cdnpoli #canlab mbtrades.ca/federal-budget…

🚨 Historic day for Manitoba! Together with @MBGov, we’ve signed the very first Manitoba Jobs Agreement — starting with 4 new schools. ✅ Prevailing wages & benefits ✅ 10% of hours for apprentices ✅ 20% of hires from equity groups ➡️ Building for Manitobans, by Manitobans.

Today we honour the skilled trades workers we have lost to workplace accidents and occupational disease. We mourn the dead and fight for the living. Every worker deserves to come home safe.

"With this budget, the Manitoba government is making a clear statement: when we invest in building our province, we invest in Manitoba workers," said Tanya Palson, Executive Director of Manitoba Building Trades.” mbtrades.ca/budget2025/

Statement on Tariffs: Our focus should be on ramping up local infrastructure investment to keep our skilled trades workforce employed and our economy moving. We must see clear commitments to long-overdue projects to create good-paying, long-term jobs. mbtrades.ca/tariffs0304/

“The evaluation of bids on public projects should be based on quality and expertise and not on who can pay their skilled workforce the least. This is fair. This is open.” mbtrades.ca/op-ed-a-return…

“Tanya Palson, executive director of the Manitoba Building Trades, says the province had an apprentice to journeyperson ratio of 1:1 for 20 years before the move to 2:1 and during that time had some of the most productive journeypersons in the country.”

A Special Message from the Building Trades Council mbtrades.ca/organizing-bul…

Spot a hard hat? That’s a building trades member out today in support of the announcement of 50%+1 card check automatic certification and anti scab legislation for Manitoba.

Read our Letter to the Editor: Repealing an outright ban is fair and open tendering. Executive Director Palson states, “associations should exercise caution when throwing stones at a model with an ever-growing evidence-based rationale for its use.” canada.constructconnect.com/joc/news/gover…
