President’s Message
FROM CRAIG BROMELL
With the Building Union of Canada (BUC) I intend on furthering the template of success that I created in my years as President of the 7,500 strong Toronto Police Association. I have always believed that a healthy construction industry is a key indicator of a strong economy. I have created BUC for the sole purpose of making things better for the men and women that work in the building sector. There is a lot of room for improvement, from the quality of life of current union and non-unionized labourers, to more mutually beneficial contracts between Builders and BUC members.
My reputation for standing up for the members I represent has been heavily documented. I am a man of my word and action, and I look forward to meeting all of you as we continue to grow. This is the time to listen to what you the workers worry about. This is the time to rebuild the confidence of the Union experience in Canada. My name is Craig Bromell and I am the President of the Building Union of Canada. Welcome to a bold new chapter in Canadian History.
Our Values
- In all actions and operations, BUC will conduct business with an adherence to the values essential to union existence and future development. An emphasis on these values is an elemental part of the BUC message and shapes every union decision, action or effort. These values include:
- Conducting business with complete transparency
- Recognizing and respecting the differences that all members bring to the organization
- Involving members in planning and conducting the union’s business
- Standing on principle regardless of trend or quick fix solutions
- Fighting the right battles for the members and not simply engaging in easy but meaningless battles for the sake of winning
- Holding Executive Board members accountable for their actions or inaction
- Ensuring members’ money is handled carefully and conscientiously
- Above all, BUC allows members to understand that they are part of something bigger and more powerful than themselves. The vested interest in the welfare of its’ members and the spirit of unification sustains it.
