Article 8 · p.18

STEWARDS

When an employer has three (3) or more Union members employed on a job site, the Business Manager or Business Representative shall have the exclusive right to dispatch or appoint a Job Steward when a fourth (4th) Union member is required. The Union Business Manager or Business Representative has the right to replace the Job Steward at any time by either appointing another Union member from the existing on-site employees or by dispatching a replacement who shall replace the terminated Union Steward. The Union agrees to maintain a separate list of Acoustical and Drywall workers. Said list shall be such to identify board workers. When workers as described in Article 2 are required, the employer shall request the Local Union to furnish competent and qualified workers in good standing and the Local Union(s) shall supply when available, competent and qualified workers in good standing as requested, however, the employer may request members by name from the out-of-work list provided that the member is in good standing with the Local Union(s). The employer shall not hire Union members directly. All Union members who report to work must furnish a Union referral slip prior to starting work. The Union, when requested, may fax referral slips directly to the employer’s offices. Any employer hiring a member without a referral slip shall be in violation of this Agreement. Commencement of work by a Union member without a referral slip shall result in the termination of the Union member from the job site. Furthermore, said Union member will be denied access to the provisions of Article 5 for the remainder of the employer’s work on the particular job site at the discretion of the Union. If the Union cannot supply sufficient piecework labour, the Employer will have the ability to hire non-Union piecework labour until the Union is able to find adequate workforce. Regular working employees will not be required to take a reduction in rate. This is for carpenters who are not working and are prepared to work for this rate, and for new entrants into the unionized sector.
