ConocoPhillips

Hospitality workers of ConocoPhilips accommodation camp at CPC Montney Lodge voted 100% in favor of strike action.

The 50 culinary, housekeeping, and janitorial workers at the camp are employed by Horizon North Camp Services, a division of Dexterra Group.

They now stand alongside the 62 workers from Attachie Lodge and Kobes Creek Lodge in the fight for fair wages, sustainable workloads, travel pay, and better benefits.

“I have been working as a janitor on 12-hour shifts for 20 days straight, and I take great pride in my job. We work hard every day, and we deserve fair wages, better benefits, and the compensation that reflects our effort,” said Celia Chifungo, a janitor at CPC Montney Lodge.

CPC Montney Lodge is located north of Fort St. John, in the heart of British Columbia’s Montney resource region. It serves as a key accommodation site for workers for ConocoPhilips oil and natural gas operations in the area.
