Every worker lost on the job deserves more than a moment of silence — they deserve a movement that fights for safety and justice. Let's honor their legacy by protecting each other, always. 🕯️

Each and every day, our hardworking men and contractors fight against crooked contractors who take advantage of workers, and cheat the community out of payroll taxes. By doing so, they steal funds for our schools, police and fire departments. They steal funds that can pave your roads, and build your infrastructure. Along the way, they steal jobs from our local citizens and contractors. Tell your local politicians to take a stand against tax fraud and worker misclassification.
Our contractors take care of their men by paying a living wage and benefits. They also pay in their legal responsibility of taxes, unlike some.

Speak up, and speak out.

As some of you may know the UBC app has not been working. Good news! Delete the old app & download the new, more improved version! Go to your app store and search UBC Member Portal App. It looks like the old app, but with a white background. Please let me or one of the rep's know if you need any help, or if you have any questions. Have a great weekend!
