Raise a Glass to Malbec! Malbec World Day, April 17 | SaltWire #reels #shorts #wine #food - Annual maintenance on Canada's oil sands plants is forecast to cause no more disruption than usual this year, but trade union officials are warning of a labor crunch during Alberta's 2025 turnaround season as construction takes off on two new industrial projects.

This year maintenance season is relatively steady, union representatives told Reuters, with turnarounds at major projects spaced out and enough workers available. A tighter labor market will likely push up wage bills for producers as they offer incentives and bonuses to secure workers and force them to bring in foreign trades, Parker said.

However, he warned Canadian companies may struggle to lure U.S. trades north due to a weak Canadian dollar. Wally Ewanicke, an organizer at Unifor National, said there was an emerging trend of firms extending time between maintenance periods to cut costs, boost production and maximise returns to shareholders.
