Summary

Contractors who fail to comply with Collective Agreements will be required to stop all work until the proper labour can be engaged, at the expense of the builder or partner. Failure to engage the required union labour will render a stand unable to open for the duration of Collision. Should a stand be abandoned due to engagement of non-union labour, Collision will arrange for the removal and disposal or recycling of any materials at the expense of the builder or partner.

It is recommended that partners engage one of the contractors on the approved list of builders. Approved builders have existing contracts with the relevant unions and operate under the collective agreements. 

• A full list can be found here.

If a builder is engaged outside of this list without an agreement with the union, all skilled and manual labour must be sourced through the General Contractor. Contact your partner success manager for more information on how to schedule.

• To review the collective agreements in place please see here.
