A message from Business Manager, John Desrosiers:

Hello Brothers & Sisters,

I would like to start by thanking each one of you for your continued hard work and excellence. It is your professionalism and skill that make our local and contractors shine, proving Unions build better.

The outlook for 2023 is promising with the upcoming construction forecasted to be extremely prosperous. The announcement of major capital projects in the Edmonton region will prove beneficial to the Local as signatory contractors are expected to be awarded a large portion of the work. These projects will be completed under our recently ratified collective agreement which saw an increase of 15.7% over the next year – increases much deserved by the hard-working members of our Local.

The Local is engaging in negotiations for many of our collective agreements. I am happy to announce two memorandums of agreements have been signed in recent weeks, which saw increases not seen in many years – similarly to our general construction provincial agreement. Our negotiating committee has your best interests at heart and will ensure the membership receives a deal mutually beneficial to the membership and contractors.

As the provincial election quickly approaches, I urge our membership to vote for the party who will not only back Unions, but remove the barricades and sanctions imposed by the anti-Union government currently in power.

As we approach the summer months and warmer weather, I remind everybody to remain safe both on and off the jobsite. Again, thank you brothers and sisters for your hard work and making Local 92 an exemplary Union.

Fraternally yours,

John Desrosiers

Notice to Members enrolled in the voluntary RSAP Program: Please remember if you have not worked in a 6-month time period, your RSAP will go dormant. Please call the RSAP Program to re-test at 1-888-493-0725. If you are unsure of your RSAP status you can call Amanda Stefanizyn at the Edmonton office directly at (780)801-5126. Local 92 does not govern or administrate this program and we do not want Members going to site with no pre-access or active RSAP status, as this means you will not gain access to the site immediately and could potentially miss out on pay due to having to test when you arrive.  

PLEASE NOTE:  Local 92 does not send members for Alcohol and Drug testing. The contractors require you to take these tests as per the site owners. You must refer to your dispatch slip and call the phone number that is listed next to "A&D Testing" in order to have a test booked in your area. Please do not proceed to orientation until you have spoken with the contractor.  

Please ensure that all your tickets and skills are updated and on file for bidding purposes. Please do NOT bid on any job that you do not have the required tickets for.
