Teamsters Local 213 http://www.teamsters213.org

https://union-store.com/teamsters213/ Local 213 instituted it's own dispatch in 1958.

A charter for jurisdiction in "Building Material, Construction and Fuel Truck Drivers"
was issued in January 1946 and Teamsters Local 213 was created with
Custer Solem as Local 213's first elected secretary-treasurer and principal
officer. The 1950's saw the start of huge growth in our province and our
construction members were involved in many large projects. Work in
road building, pipleine and ready mix expanded through the next
several years. Merging with Local 181 in 1972 and Local 351 in 1983 expanded our
membership and the industries we represented. Today, Local 213
represents members in hundreds of diverse fields. From the begining, Local 213 has been driven by the goal to better
the lives of our members on and off the job. Local 213's Health & Welfare Plan
and Pension Plan, initiated many years ago, still provides excellent
benefits for our members today. Our training programs have ranged from construction warehousemen
training in the late 1960's to our online courses, heavy equipment
training and our seminars for our shop stewards.

Statement from Teamsters Local 213 Principal Officer Tony Santavenere:

"BC Conservative leader Lorne Doerkson says he wants to scrap the Massey Tunnel replacement project.

Let me be clear: scrapping this project would be a huge mistake and a giant waste of money.

Construction activities have been underway on the project for more than nine months now. More than a half-billion dollars have been spent on the project. 200 workers have been on site, working to make this project a reality for Metro Vancouver commuters.

Why waste that time, effort and money? It makes no sense.

It is true, this project has faced challenges, but cancelling it now would be throwing good money after bad.

The sites are prepared, the environmental assessment is almost done and major construction could start as soon as January. That’s just two-and-a-half months away.

On top of all that, the federal government has committed up to $3 billion to pay for the project. We can’t afford to lose that crucial investment in our infrastructure.

Lorne Doerkson is deeply misguided on this. Scrapping the Massey Tunnel replacement now will only waste money already spent, add to costs, extend the completion timeline and leave frustrated commuters stuck in traffic for years longer.

Teamsters Local 213 calls on the BC Conservative leader to come to his senses and reverse this commitment."

Union labour builds better and saves money!

A new independent report finds Western Canadian union labour is 17% more productive than open shop.

Even while earning higher wages, union workers deliver 7% lower project costs. That's $70,000 in savings on every $1m of project cost.

We're proud that our members are the best of the best and deliver outstanding results on every job!

Teamsters Local 213 is pleased to celebrate the final investment decision for LNG Canada Phase 2.

This multi-billion-dollar expansion will add two more liquefaction trains and double the facility’s export capacity from about 14 million to 28 million tonnes of LNG per year.

Teamsters Local 213 members worked incredibly hard to ensure LNG Canada Phase 1 was a smashing success and we look forward to doing the same for Phase 2.

We would like to thank Premier David Eby and the BC NDP government, as well as Prime Minister Mark Carney for delivering this important project!
