Join Local 1Sign In


Local 1 acknowledges that our members live and work on the traditional territories of many Indigenous People across Alberta, including the lands covered by Treaties 6, 7, and 8.

We honour the Blackfoot Confederacy (Kainai, Piikani, and Siksika), Cree, Dene, Saulteaux, Nakota Sioux, Stoney Nakoda, Tsuu T’ina Nation, and the Métis People of Alberta, including the Métis Settlements and the Six Regions of the Métis Nation of Alberta within the historical Northwest Métis Homeland.

We are grateful to the Elders, Knowledge Keepers, and community members (past, present, and future), whose stewardship, knowledge, and cultures continue to enrich these lands. We offer this acknowledgement as an expression of respect, gratitude, and our ongoing commitment to reconciliation.

We make this acknowledgement

as an act of reconciliation and gratitude to those whose territory we reside on or are visiting.

Benefits

Great 
Benefits

As a worker, you have guaranteed rights to form or join a union, and bargain collectively with your employer. BAC Local 1 Alberta officers and staff are the representatives of the Union who help workers deal with unfair treatment, discrimination and other workplace issues. This helps balance the power that an employer has over individual employees.

 Better Opportunities

Better
Opportunities

Belonging to a union gives you rights under the law that you do not have as an individual. Once you have joined a union, your employer must bargain with your union over your wages, benefits, hours and working conditions. As a result, union workers, on average, earn higher wages and get more benefits than workers who don’t have a voice on the job.

 More Representation

Representation

Belonging to Local 1 as an apprentice means employers train you how to safely do your job, and as you advance from apprentice to journeyperson your wage will increase according to our contract (60% journeyperson rate at first year 80% at second and 90% at third year).
