Canada unions brace for 2025 labor crunch in oil sands maintenance season - 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.

In 2025, however, oil sands projects and Alberta refineries will be forced to compete for skilled trades as construction starts at Dow's C$8.9 billion chemical plant near Edmonton and work on a C$1.6 billion hydrogen facility being built by Air Products gathers pace. "We're going to see some really heavy pressure for finding trades during 2025," Regan said, adding that crane operators, scaffolders, pipefitters and boilermakers will be in highest demand.

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. -- Canada’s newest oil pipeline may spell trouble for a Middle Eastern country almost 7,000 miles away: Iraq.
