Good day Union Family Members

Over the last week, you may have noticed the posting on the Local 110 dispatch page looking for resumes for a new Client, Contractor Liaison (CCL). This is a difficult position within our Local due to it encompassing a number of different positions. It requires the individual to be incredibly self-motivated and develop skills that are outside the norm for most tradespeople.

Local 110 has been fortunate to have had Member Brandon Hammond filling this position since January 2017. Brandon has been a constant professional, representing Local 110 with Government relations, Client Liaison meetings, a number of industry boards, on top of his day to day organizing duties. Unfortunately, for our membership, Brandon has decided to take a position with another organization.  Although he will be missed, Local 110 is grateful for the contribution made to our organization and wish him all the best in future.

Good afternoon Brothers & Sisters,

Please find the letter from General President James McCourt regarding voting on new members.

I’ve had numerous inquiries on this lately, and I’m hoping this letter will help with some of your questions.

Local 110 is sad to announce that Member Victor Guerra passed away on November 3, 2019. Brother Victor has been a long-time Local 110 member, since August 1986.

No other details have been released at this time. We will update the information as it is made available.

Local 110 Officers, Staff and Members extend their deepest condolences to all of Brother Victor’s Family and Friends.

Good day Local 110 Members

As most of you there is currently a number of members that have been working under Salting agreements with Local 110.

Recently however a number of available jobs from our signatory contractors have not been filled. As such the Union is required to pull back our members from Salting agreements to man the calls for our signatory contractors. To this end, Client Contractor Liaison Brandon Hammond will be contacting the members under salting agreements to cancel the agreement and fill the outstanding calls.

Direction has also been provided by our International Officers that the current Salting program does not correctly follow the mandate of Salting by the International, because of this the program will have a number of changes shorty. Additionally Salting will be significantly limited in the future.

If you have any question please contact Client Contractor Liaison Brandon Hammond or myself at the Edmonton union office.
Thank you

Kevin Lecht
