Advocacy & Policy
At SJCA, advocacy is more than a responsibility — it’s a commitment to our members, our values, and the future of the unionized construction sector. From representing your interests at policy tables to championing an inclusive workforce, this page highlights how we advocate for your success.
Our Approach to Advocacy
What Advocacy Means to SJCA
SJCA advocates on behalf of its members to ensure that decisions made at the local, provincial, and national levels reflect the priorities of the unionized construction industry.
