Our Collective Agreements... The Foundation of Your Success

The flexibility and innovation of our collective agreements ensure profitability and success. We work with our partner contractors to develop winning strategies and fair agreements that lead to a healthy industry. Agreements which ensure that our members are treated equitably are the key to a good business relationship.

Additionally, our agreements allow us to negotiate separate, mutual agreements with an employer to advance both our needs and set out definable processes for quick and amicable resolve of issues.

Our agreements allow our Business Manager to use specific clauses to assist an employer in gaining more work for our members. Just like a strong foundation, our flexible and innovative collective agreements support a profitable partnership.

Our employers just pick up the phone, tell our Dispatch office which workers or skills you need, and we fill your order. When the job is done, our workers move on to other projects. As an International union, if we can't fill your needs locally, we will bring in members from across Canada and the USA to make sure you have what you need to win those bids.

Our internal standard of excellence ensures a commitment to professionalism in all our activities. From dress, management of tools and respect for equipment, we know that a "work proud" approach leads to quality results and increased productivity
