This year, BC unions expanded faster than they had in any year since 2004. There were more strikes, more organizing drives, and more allegations of employers breaking labour laws.
On why it was a year for unions in BC:

Hate is on the rise in Canada, including anti-2SLGBTQI hate—and it’s putting workers at risk of violence and harassment.
Help tell the government to make a plan to enact the global treaty on violence and harassment in the world of work.
