Canada West Construction Union represents thousands of construction workers across British Columbia and Alberta. We negotiate hard for fair wages, safe worksites, and benefits that look after you and your family — and we’re politically neutral, because our only allegiance is to our members.
Founded in 2012, Canada West Construction Union has a proud history of advocating for the rights of construction workers. Over the years we have grown to represent thousands of members across British Columbia and Alberta, standing shoulder to shoulder with the tradespeople who build our communities.
Skilled representatives who negotiate fair wages, benefits, and safe working conditions that respect your contributions on every jobsite.
When differences arise, we resolve them at the lowest level possible. Our reps work with Shop Stewards on collective agreement compliance and grievance management.
Qualifications, skill development, and training keep you moving forward — whether through the CWU training program or by working with your employer and their training providers to get you the training you need.
Whether you’re on a CWU-provided plan or an employer-sponsored plan, we negotiate industry-leading coverage for you and your dependents.
In every province, CWU is guided by a single belief — The Strength of All of Us. Members benefit from strong advocacy that runs parallel to a genuine commitment to work with employers to advance earning potential and opportunity for all.
Every worker deserves fair wages, safe conditions, and equal treatment on the job. We negotiate hard and stand firm so our members are treated with the respect they have earned.
We believe in equality and justice for all workers regardless of background, trade, or tenure. Our union exists to level the playing field on every jobsite we serve.
We are committed to safe, supportive workplaces for every member. From benefits and training to on-site representation, we’re with you every step of the way.
