VANCOUVER, B.C. – A recently formed British Columbia organization has launched an online campaign to hold Kinder Morgan to its pledge to value workplace safety over profits while building a safe, environmentally responsible pipeline. The B.C. Coalition for Safety before Profits (BCCSP) was founded in April in response to community concern about Kinder Morgan’s commitment to health and safety and training employees rigorously, according to an April 25 press release from the coalition. “By refusing to partner with the most experienced and highly skilled unionized workers, Kinder Morgan is putting profits before safety,” BCCSP spokesperson Patrick Campbell said in a media statement. “These jobs were promised to the people of B.C., and that should mean something.” Campbell cited the TransMountain Project as an example of a project successfully completed by a unionized workforce in the province. BCCSP is a collaborative project between members of the International Union of Operating Engineers, the Labourer’s International Union of North America, United Association Canada (Canadian Piping Trades) and Teamsters Canada, according to the release.
