Urbacon directly employs all classifi-
cations of Skilled Labourers, Carpen-
ters and Heavy Equipment Operators
who perform work in the ICI sector of
construction in Ontario, and benefited
from the BUC’s ability to represent
multiple trades.
Of the deal, Field Rep and BUC Exec
Board member Tony Cordeiro says,
“Our wall-to-wall status at the Ontario
Labour Relations Board allows us to
represent every trade in construction
under one Collective Agreement. We
are very excited for the opportunity
these employees have given us to
work and grow together.”
The day after the Urbacon announce-
ment, CY Rheault employees signed
on with BUC as their representation.
“These employees showed over-
whelming support for the BUC and
we are excited to represent them.
They have a bright future under our
Collective Agreement and we won’t
let them down,” says Cordeiro. CY
Rheault employs Labourers, Painters
and apprentices and is one of the larg-
est contractors in Northern Ontario.
There are no signs of slowing down.
Every month, more and more contrac-
tors see the benefits of the BUC for
their employees and their bottom line.
“We are growing exponentially,” says
Bromell. “And as we grow, we are able
to have a positive impact on the lives
of those we represent. The welfare of
our members is what drives us every-
day.”
