Why It Matters

The Carpenters Union has a long and proud history of advocating for meaningful social progress by getting involved in the federal, provincial and municipal political process, both at election time and in the periods between elections. And we have had enormous success, particularly in recent years, with respect to ensuring that governments are responding to the issues that matter most to our members and their families.

Examples of this success can be seen everywhere – from massive infrastructure investments that have created thousands of construction jobs to more balanced labour laws and enhanced workplace health and safety regulations, our political action efforts have made a positive impact. And with your help, we will continue to advocate and achieve our political action goals in the months and years ahead.
