Good day Union Family

Our Provincial Insulators General Construction Sector Collective Agreement is set to expire April 30, 2025. This means that the official bargaining process will be starting shortly for all trades. This agreement covers all construction work performed by our union, from commercial to industrial work. Also, the rates and increases paid under the General Presidents Maintenance Agreements come directly from this agreement.

The last round of bargaining took four years to complete and started with the unreasonable expectation from the contractors that our member would have a 20% reduction forced upon them, but in the end, we won a 15.7% increase to our wage package.

Preparation has already begun for this round of bargaining, but members need to provide input on what changes need to be made to the agreement moving forward, and what issues need to be addressed. If you wish to make a submission you can email it to me at KevinL@insulators110.com or by mail to the Edmonton union hall 9335-47 Street, Edmonton, AB T6B 2R7.

The more submissions provided by the members the better prepared our bargaining committee will be. Its our union, our agreement, and our voice make sure you provide your input.

In solidarity
