In conjunction with the MRCA Conference and Expo, the MRCA Signatory Contractors Council is going to hold a Roundtable Discussion Group. The purpose of the roundtable is to have a general exchange of information on this past years' labor negotiations and any other labor issues that might need to be addressed. Discussion usually centers around Roofers, Waterproofers and Allied Worker Local Unions, but is open to discuss other craft agreements such as the Sheet Metal Workers, Operating Engineers, Carpenters, etc.
John Quarnstrom, CEO of the Sheet Metal & Roofing Contractors Association, St. Paul, MN will be with us to discuss Architectural Sheet Metal Agreements with his Sheet Metal Workers Local Union (SMART). He will be talking about the separate Architectural Agreement they have with their Local Union and how it has benefited the Roofing Contractors in his area.
Valerie Pope, MRCA Signatory Contractors Council Staff person and Director of Labor Relations for The Association Office (TAO), will also be there to talk about the separate architectural addendum that the Dayton Ohio contractors have with their SMART Local and how that has led to discussions about a possible separate architectural sheet metal apprentice program.
We will be having a general discussion about area settlements with the Roofers and Waterproofers Local Unions this past spring and a wrap-up discussion to finalize our speakers and topics for the March 24-25 MRCA Signatory Contractors Council Conference in Chicago.
