Unity And Strength
for workers
Local 1-417 is based out of Kamloops, BC. Our Local Union represents over 1,400 members in many industries including: Sawmilling, Wood products manufacturing, Steel manufacturing, Recycling, Security, Trucking, Construction, Machining, and more.
Our Union, the USW, has helped working men and women win better wages, benefits, working conditions and workplace justice for more than 70 years. The USW is known for our work in the areas of health and safety, equality, human rights, global justice, environmental action, organizing and education.
Thanks to Unions like ours, Canadians have been able to bargain better wages, better medical, drug and dental coverage, life insurance and pensions. And all Canadians have benefited from the USW's work on the political front.
The USW is one of the largest private sector Unions in both Canada and North America with more than 225,000 members in Canada and more than 800,000 members continent-wide. Today, more than ever, working people need strong, effective unions and the United Steelworkers is here for you.

ELECTION FOR DISTRICT 3 DIRECTOR: Polling Times and Locations for all Members
Thousands of USW, & forestry members could lose their jobs if wrong decisions are made affecting the future of the forestry employment industry in British Columbia. We need to tell Premier John Horgan that walking the walk on labour values means saying NO to damaging policies that harm workers and their families. It takes LESS THAN ONE MINUTE to send a letter so your voice is heard in Victoria. PLEASE ACT NOW! USW Local 1-417 members support healthy jobs in forestry. We are asking Premier Horgan to stand with us in favour of UNITY AND STRENGTH FOR WORKERS.
