Protecting trades work, connecting trades workers

The Committee raises the profile and awareness of the working trades in British Columbia, and connects skilled trade workers who exists in the many different sectors represented by CUPE across the province.

Committee work focuses on strategies to address issues that undermine the skilled trades, like contracting-out, trade agreements, deregulation and de-skilling of trades, apprenticeship barriers, and barriers that women and other equity-seeking groups face in skilled trades work opportunities.
