Welcome new federal transportation minister

Last week, I wrote to Canada’s new Minister of Transport, Chrystia Freeland, and Secretary of State for Labour, John Zerucelli. We welcomed them to their new roles and made sure they heard directly from us about what matters to ferry workers.

From lack of federal investment in B.C.’s ferry system to gaps in labour standards and challenges with training and certification, these are real issues that affect our jobs, our safety and our families. If we don’t speak up, no one will do it for us.

We’ve asked to meet with both offices and will keep pushing to make sure our work gets the respect and support it deserves.

In solidarity,

Eric McNeely,
Provincial President
