On the latest TCR_Cast, Alex_Carrick and Michael_Guckes talk about the ongoing labour crunch and the growing number of strikes and other labour actions.
On this episode of The Construction Record Podcast, digital media editor Warren Frey speaks with ConstructConnect chief economist Alex Carrick and senior economist Michael Guckes about recent strike actions and the ongoing labour crunch affecting Canada and the United States.
Warren also looks into the latest headlines on the Daily Commercial News and Journal of Commerce, including a crane collapse in New York, a major cabinet shuffle for Justin Trudeau’s liberal government and a big win for staff at an LNG Canada worker lodge in Kitimat, B.C. with an up to 40 per cent rise in pay.
Michael cited a recent report from the National Federation of Independent Business which cites the need for labour as the number one concern for small businesses across the United States, and Alex pointed to increased immigration as one possible safety valve for the Canadian labour crunch with the caveat that more new arrivals to Canada means a need for more housing, infrastructure and services.
