In a joint filing, the BCCA teamed with other industry stakeholders, with the “Pattulo Bridge Petition” to ask that the NDP government’s discriminatory building trades union-only hiring procurement policy for public construction projects be struck down on the grounds that it violates the constitutional rights of 85% of BC’s construction workforce.

The BC Supreme Court heard the case between February 27 and March 1, 2019. They advised a decision would be shared by the end of April.
