ABOUT
In recent years, B.C.’s forestry sector has faced a “perfect storm” of challenges, leading to a significant decline in employment and economic contribution. it is a crisis that affects real people and communities.
Since 2001, the industry has seen a staggering 45% drop in employment, translating to lost livelihoods for nearly 35,000 workers. Last year alone, the forestry sector saw the loss of 3,750 jobs.
The three major unions representing forestry workers – Unifor, United Steelworkers, and PPWC – are uniting to Fight for our Future.
The path forward must be one that honours this legacy through a commitment to sustainable practices, Indigenous partnerships, innovation, and the well-being of the workers and communities who have built this industry.
