In response to recent racist and hateful acts that have taken place at construction sites across Toronto, the Carpenters’ District Council of Ontario, United Brotherhood of Carpenters and Joiners of America (the “Carpenters”) have expressed their disgust of the incidents.
The organizations state that they “denounce these acts in the strongest terms and commend our industry employer colleagues for their actions in promptly addressing these repulsive incidents by launching internal investigations into what happened, contacting the Toronto Police Service, and overtly characterizing these acts as hate crimes.”
