We all know that "Full Mobility" is a hot button issue in regards to our ongoing contract negotiations. A proposal or an amendment to the proposal on the table should be as follows if the contractors continue to insist that "full mobility is a non- negotiable issue."
Please note that this recommendation is a last ditch resort, this is intended to be a so called, "ace in the hole."
Proposal is as follows:
- The District Council will give the contractors full mobility
- Full mobility will only be given to the contractor in the area of the home local of the project.
- Contractors working on projects in the Borough of Queens can have full mobility using only members from Local 45.
- Contractors working on projects in the Boroughs of Manhattan and the Bronx can have full mobility using only members from Local 157.
- Contractors working on projects in the Borough of Staten Island can have full mobility using only members from Local 20.
- Contractors working on projects in the Borough of Brooklyn can have full mobility using only members from Local 926.
- Shop Stewards will be assigned the same way, only Local 926 members can be a shop stewards in Local 926 jurisdiction, only Local 157 members can be shop stewards in Local 157 jurisdiction, only Local 20 members can be shop stewards in Local 20 jurisdiction, and only Local 45 members can be shop stewards in Local 45 jurisdiction.
- If a contractor wants to employ a member for example from Local 45 in Local 157s jurisdiction that Local 45 member would have to be directly matched by a Local 157 member from the OWL on 1:1 basis. This would be the same process in all Local Unions jurisdiction throughout the New York City District Council of Carpenters. The individual working outside of his home Local Unions jurisdiction would be considered and "Out of Area Carpenter."
- If a contractor wants to employ member for example from the Northeast Regional Council of Carpenters or any other United Brotherhood of Carpenters affiliate this member would have to be matched directly from the OWL on a 2:1 basis on any project throughout the New York City District Council of Carpenters affiliate Locals 45, 157. 20, and 926. This individual would be considered and " Out of Towner."
- Also note that while working in the jurisdiction of the affiliates of the New York City District Council of Carpenters and "Out of Towner," may be receiving a higher rate into their fringe benefit package. For example in some areas neighboring the New York City District Council of Carpenters, a member may be receiving in there home Local or Council a $10.00/ hour contribution into their welfare aspect of their fringe benefits, while working in New York City District Council affiliates they will be receiving a $11.25/ hour contribution into their welfare aspect of their fringe benefits. The proposed would be that all excess funds $11.25 -$10.00, $1.25 would stay with the New York City District Council of Carpenters and serve as a "tax" for working on a project in the jurisdiction of one of the affiliates of the New York City District Council of Carpenters. Practice right now is that a check gets cut for the individual that is considered an " Out of Towner," working in New York City from the New York City District Council of Carpenters paying that difference $1.25/ hour back to that "Out of Towner."

ReplyDeleteJust who is an OUT OF TOWNER ? Members who live out of state or on LI pay no 5 BOROUGH LOCAL TAX. Can a guy from Kentucky get a nycdcc card ? Blow smoke up somebody else's ass + stop acting like NJ,LI, + PA are any less fucking the 5 BOROUGH LOCAL TAXPAYING MEMBER. NYCDCC SHOULD BE A LOCAL FOR 5 BOROUGH TAXPAYING MEMBERS. GO ORGANIZE YOUR OWN STATES WHERE YOU RESIDE + STOP LEACHING OFF TTHE TAXPAYING MEMBER. FUCK ALL OF YOU

ReplyDeletei think thats good
ReplyDeleteNO DEAL
ReplyDeleteYou're luck anyone wants to employ you idiots!
ReplyDeletenot for nothing we would not be having these talks about full mobility if every union member on the job site would not only do the job they are getting pay for but to know the job at hand. Meaning hall guys (i am one and a proud shop steward. Who puts in a hard days work every day)and shop stewards wake up and i am not talking about the men and stewards who can go home and sleep at night in peace because they know they put in sa good days work in like every good union member does!!THE SHOPS we all work for would not have beef with us (hall guys,stewards)if they knew every man that came off the work list was a hard worker and qualify to do the job they were assigned to do.We all KNOW want iam TALKING ABOUT!!Not for nothing if the shops dont make money(WE ALL KNOW THEY DO)and go out of business thats one less union shop we can work for.So lets wake up and fight for a good contract that we ALL DESERVE and not LET THE BOSSES TAKE ADVANTAGE US!!TY.
