The first local of today united brotherhood of carpenters and joiner of america was formed in victoria in 1883, and a vancouver local followed in 1890. As the province grew over the next century, so did the union. Today there are 27 locals. In 1899, shortly after the union was a successful strike by the building trades for the 9 hour day. Eventually, the unions were able to negotiate the 8 hour day and, in some cases, 7 1/2 half hour day.
