Contract Negotiations Update

John Delollis. Executive Director
John Delollis, Director of the Wall & Ceiling Association (WC&C), was invited to address the delegate body on Wednesday July 25th and present the WC&C proposals for the Collective Bargaining Agreement (CBA).

Mr. Delollis proposed basically the same proposal he gave the executive committee back in June.

The four major issues the WC&C want are:
  • Full Mobility with only NYCDC members 50/50 with all outsiders.
  • No pay differential for shift work.
  • Eliminate the half day work for full days pay for Christmas Eve and New Years Eve. These days to remain as regular work days.
  • Allow two man jobs without the assignment of a shop steward.
In exchange for these four items the WC&C has offered a wage and benefit increase of $13.13 per hour = 15.4% total for 5 years.

Carpenters have been working without a contract since June 30, 2011. The terms and conditions of our previous contracts have been extended to July 31, 2012.

    1. Delollis is a snakeoil salesman. If anyone thinks his proposal is good for the carpenters they are in denial about the nature of construction work. When the job is done, you need a new job. Union man or company loyalist. With 100% full mob., only the loyalist will be brought to the next job. The union man will have almost no chance of supporting his family. When Delollis was asked by one of our delegates if he had a plan to get these men back to work, he said no, your union will have to do that. So, I guess he didnt hear that the union men already voted down his garbage proposal and will vote it down again if he presents it again. God Bless the members of the New York City District Council of Carpenters. And god bless America.

  4. Full Mobility will be the end of our union as we know it. I would rather forego an increase in return for 50/50.

  5. The union as one 'knows' it - maybe it is a good thing that it ends
    too much corruption for too long

    too much kool aid being handed so district council can screw over membership

    THERE SHOULD BE A STRIKE AGAINST DISTRICT COUNCIL FOR THE HISTORY OF MISHANDLING ALL UNION BUSINESS

I would ask that if you would like to leave a comment that you think of Local 157 Blogspot as your online meeting hall and that you wouldn’t say anything on this site that you wouldn’t, say at a union meeting. Constructive criticism is welcome, as we all benefit from such advice. Obnoxious comments are not welcome.
