About

Since 1903, Local 123 has fought to better the lives of workers through collective bargaining.

Local 123 Mandate

Our mandate is to raise wages and working conditions for workers, and to ensure that workers receive the training they need to be safe, productive, and professional at work.

Local 123 History

There’s a proud tradition of working and it’s one that we intend to uphold. We've achieved a tremendous amount in our first hundred years of existence, and we expect even greater things to come!

What We Offer

Local 123 is a member-driven organization. We support our members in becoming the safest, best-trained, and most productive workers in the province. In addition, we provide extensive opportunities for training.

What We Do

The men and women of Local 123 build this area and have built many landmarks along the way. We have built the high-rises you live in, the schools you attend, and the hospitals you get help in.

Our History

Local Union 123 was granted its charter in 1903. For over 110 years the members of Local 123 have worked together to help each other out, understanding that an attack on one of us is an attack on all of us. We have fought for the men and women who put their lives on the line, and that fight continues in the spirit of those we have lost.

Our Future

As we look to the future, we are looking to you! Local 123 is working to grow its membership and train new workers to meet the needs of this growing state. There are many large, long-term projects which are coming up in the near future, and they are going to require highly skilled and certified workers.

President's Message

Local 123 is dedicated to ensuring that your employer respects dignity, equality, and safety in the workplace. We are here to help you achieve job security and receive fair treatment at work. Bargaining good contracts and benefits is part of that, as well as making sure that your rights as a worker – under the law and under your contract – are respected.

We are all working together to build a better future for members, their families, and their communities.

As a member, you will always have an advocate and someone on your side. If you have a problem at work or a question about what you are entitled to, your shop steward or executive member is there to help you. You have a voice at work and the power to shape your future. But strong member participation is the key to a strong union local, so I encourage you to talk to your union representatives. Learn about your rights, attend union meetings and events, and make your voice heard.

Remember, YOU are the union! The union is member-led and member-run. Our union leaders are rank-and-file members – elected by other members – whose sole purpose is to support the membership.
