MCAA member contractors and local affiliates are encouraged to participate in an upcoming UA organizing blitz. This is a great opportunity to share the benefits of working for a union contractor and enhance the labor/management relationship. Read on to learn more, then register for a blitz near you.

The UA uses organizing blitzes to ensure it is prepared to meet the growing demand for craftspersons. During the blitz, you will visit jobsites, supply houses, gas stations, offices of non-union contractors, and other areas that are frequented by non-union mechanical and plumbing employees.

How Contractors Will Benefit

Organizing blitzes present an opportunity to speak directly to the individuals being organized. These conversations let you share the benefits of working for your company. You also get a sneak preview of upcoming talent.

You will also have a chance to answer questions and dispel any myths non-union contractors may have heard about what it is like to be a union contractor.

How Local Associations Will Benefit

Local association executives who participate in a blitz will better understand how the UA operates. They will enhance the labor/management relationship and be better able to support their contractor members’ participation.
