We're thinking of the three miners trapped underground in northern B.C. and their families. We're pulling for the rescue crews and hoping for a safe return. #bclab

Solid op-ed from @BCFMWU president

Hayley Walker knows what it’s like to be in the engine room of a ship that breaks down without warning. Now president of Local 10, she’s fighting for safer ships, a stronger voice for ferry workers and more women in the trades: buff.ly/wewirZr 💪⚙️🚢 #bclab #bcferries

BC Ferries buys steel for terminal repair and upgrades as well as ship repairs. But for two weeks they've been unable to tell us if they have a Canadian #steel procurement requirement. #canadiansteel #bcpoli #bclab #cdnpoli #canlab buff.ly/LnJYxle

Capt. Gurpreet Singh Bajwa represented BCFMWU at the Nuu-chah-nulth Picnic in the Park with Khalsa Aid Nanaimo, in Port Alberni July 12. The event brought families together for food, culture and connection. 🧡 #UnionProud #CommunityCare

We came. We paddled. We sank. Proud to take home First to Sink at this year’s Silly Boat Regatta! Big thanks to everyone who cheered us on as we went down in style. 🚣♀️😆🏆

🚨 Bargaining is underway for our BC Ferries component! Your agreement expires Oct. 31. Prep has been ongoing since June and we’ve already entered early talks with the employer. Watch for updates and our new #Bargaining 101 series. bcfmwu.com/local/meet-you…

🎟️ “We’re not trained for this.” Frontline ferry workers like Lezlie face growing violence on the job, often without the support they need. Read her story. bcfmwu.com/news/behind-th…

When our float broke down on the way to Victoria Pride. Passerby Dan Eagen drove home, pulled a spare off his own trailer and came back to help. Thanks Dan, we're so grateful for your help! 💚 #UnionStrong #PrideParade #Solidarity #kindness #passiton

Is BC Ferries buying steel from China for ship repair and terminal upgrades? We've asked for clarity on their procurement policy and if they're required to support local suppliers. bcfmwu.com/news/no-respon…

PM Carney’s response to our call for fair ferry funding? Weak. No permanent funding. No commitment to Canadian shipbuilding. Just a tariff exemption on foreign built ferries and a shrug: bcfmwu.com/news/federal-r… #bclab #bcpoli #cdnpoli

🚨 In less than a week, two serious incidents have put ferry workers in danger. Enough is enough. Ferry workers deserve a safe workplace: bcfmwu.com/news/violence-…. #bclab #bcpoli
