Activities of the Union
Conducting Negotiations
We negotiate terms and conditions of employment through Recognition Agreements, Collective Bargaining Agreements, and Return to Work Formulas.
Organizing and Recruitment
We focus on recruiting new members, especially given the short-term nature of many projects in the building and construction sector.
Servicing Our Members
Ensuring members are paid according to wage regulations and treated with utmost respect by employers.
Training and Workshops
We offer training for industry members, workplace committees, shop stewards, organizers, branch secretaries, and staff, in collaboration with stakeholders.
Dispute Resolution
For unresolved grievances, our Head Office steps in, with cases potentially reaching the Industrial Court or Court of Appeal.
Grievance Handling
Our union is equipped to resolve workplace issues from the shop floor to the branch office level.
Handing of members court cases
We provides comprehensive support for members facing court proceedings. We offer expert representation, manage case documentation, and coordinate all court appearances while keeping members informed throughout the process. Through our legal defense fund, we ensure access to quality legal services.
