Highlights of labour priorities on the card

Better Living
Housing affordability, responsive land development, modernizing the Northern Living Allowance, and support for renters and first-time buyers are central to keeping Yukon families local and secure.

Action to watch for: increase affordable homeownership and affordable land access for residents, land stewardship with indigenous and cooperative housing, and first-time buyer supports.

Inclusive Workplaces and Standards
Strong territorial employment standards, expanded sick-leave protections, and meaningful enforcement to protect casual, seasonal, and newcomer workers.

Action to watch for: funding for multilingual outreach, stronger inspections, and penalties for employers who breach Yukon labour agreements.

Northern Health and Worker Protections
The transition to the Shäw Kwä’ą health authority must preserve pensions, employment stability, and local access to care. Yukoners expect commitments to keep community health centres open and to invest in local treatment capacity.

Action to watch for: written guarantees on pensions, staffing plans for rural clinics, and timelines to prevent service gaps.

Workers’ Compensation and Whistleblower Protections
Modernized WSCB regulations, circle of care supports for injured workers, more compassionate application of psychological injuries, and territorial whistleblower protections are essential to a fair system for injured and reporting workers.

Action to watch for: promises to reform WSCB systems on justice for workers, amending the Workers’ Safety and Compensation Act to recognize chronic workplace stress, bullying, and harassment as compensable injuries, introducing confidential reporting channels, and expanding protections for whistleblowers.

Wildland Firefighter Safety
Yukon wildland firefighters face unequal protection compared to their structural counterparts. They lack presumptive cancer coverage, many are employed on casual contracts without job security or benefits, and the high threshold for psychological injury claims leaves mental health impacts unrecognized. These gaps create systemic inequities for workers doing some of the most dangerous jobs in the territory.

Action to watch for: commitments to presumptive coverage parity, better job security for seasonal staff, and funded mental health supports.

Training, Infrastructure, and a Worker Action Centre
Yukon’s labour system has structural gaps. Supports for vulnerable groups — including immigrant, young, and Indigenous workers — are fragmented and often focused on training or placement rather than helping workers navigate complaints, harassment, or wage theft.

Action to watch for: funding commitments, clear territorial oversight (such as Minister of Labour or a broader labour board), and partnerships with unions and Indigenous governments to deliver accessible worker services, investing in northern trades training and broadband so that all workers — especially those most at risk of exploitation — have fair access to protections and opportunities.

Reconciliation and Sustainable Development
How will your government ensure that mining and resource development in Yukon are carried out in ways that respect Indigenous rights, protect the environment, and prevent disasters like the Eagle Gold Mine contamination?

Action to Watch For: Commitments to co-management with First Nations, stronger mining accountability, increased royalties, and long-term funding for Indigenous Land Guardian programs.

Accessibility for All
Yukon’s Disability Act (2003) is outdated, limited in scope, and lacks enforceable accessibility standards. Unlike other provinces, Yukon has no binding timelines, no independent enforcement body, and no requirement for employers or service providers to proactively remove barriers.

Action to Watch For: Commitments to legislative review, creation of enforceable accessibility standards, recognition of invisible disabilities, and establishment of an independent commissioner or tribunal for compliance/complaints.

Share the fun and hold candidates accountable.
