BC Trade Union Demands Immigration Reforms to Tackle Construction Labor Shortage
โ The BC Building Trades (BCBT) union is urging the federal government to reform immigration policies to address severe labor shortages in the construction sector. Executive Director Brynn Bourke emphasized the need for skilled foreign workers alongside local labor. BCBT criticized the reliance on temporary foreign workers (TFWs), who make up 4.7% of BC's construction workforce, compared to the national average of 2.1%. The union claims this practice undermines wages and employment rights. BC requires 52,600 more construction workers by 2032, with 30% expected to come through immigration. The Federal Skilled Trades Program remains underutilized, bringing only 270 workers to BC from 2019 to 2023. .
