Ironworkers Local 97 congratulates Premier David Eby and his newly appointed cabinet as they take on the important work of addressing British Columbia’s challenges.

Specifically, we would like to congratulate Minister of Labour Jennifer Whiteside, Minister of Infrastructure Bowinn Ma, Minister for Jobs and Economic Development and Innovation Diana Gibson, Minister for Post Secondary Education and Future Skills Anne Kang, Minister for Transportation and Transit Mike Farnworth and Minister of Finance Brenda Bailey, who are all new in these roles.

Unionized ironworkers have seen firsthand the benefits of strong government partnerships when it comes to creating well-paying, safe jobs to complete major infrastructure projects that strengthen our province.

We look forward to collaborating with the new cabinet to ensure that B.C.’s future is built on a foundation of skilled labor, robust investment in public projects, and opportunities that support workers and their families.
