Coal Revival: “I’m going to stay,” one coal worker told IBEW. This is one union that is over the moon with the right wing government that just saved their industry and jobs.
More formal letter of support from IBEW:
Coal Revival: IBEW says coal announcement will ‘have a meaningful impact on the lives of our members and their families’

In the recent past federal election there were a few unions which supported the Conservatives, It seemed like their support was weighted by the Conservatives having an actual plan to support building. I don’t know how or if that impacted their membership voting but I did post the original news releases from three of these unions on social sites.
International Brotherhood of Boilermakers (in Canada)
International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers, Sask. local 2067
United Association of Journeymen and Apprentices of the Plumbing and Pipe Fitting Industry local 67 in Hamilton Ont.
I don’t know of others as any others would be outside my sphere…
CUPE
CUPW
