SHEET METAL NEGOTIATIONS UPDATE
Notice to all Members employed in ICI Sheet Metal in the Province of Ontario
May 8, 2025 - 5:00 pm
Mississauga - Your Negotiating Committee met with the Ontario Sheet Metal Contractors’
Association (OSMCA) again today, Thursday May 8, 2025. Unfortunately, we made very
limited progress on any of the outstanding matters.
With the assistance of the Minister of Labour’s appointed Conciliation Officer (a Mediator) we
have agreed to meet with representatives of OSMCA on Thursday May 15, 2025 in one last
effort to avoid being forced on strike. The major issue remains getting a fair wage increase that
includes pension and benefits on all overtime hours.
Your Negotiating Committee is working over the next week to finalize proposals and responses
to OSMCA proposals to reach a reasonable settlement. However we are not optimistic that we
will be successful in reaching a fair deal. Our members should be prepared for the likelihood of
a strike should negotiations on May 15, 2025 be unsuccessful. Once we have further information
we will notify all of our members right away.
UNTIL THEN PLEASE CONTINUE TO REPORT TO WORK AS SCHEDULED.
As more information becomes available we will provide further updates.
Please return to this webpage or your Local’s website and/or social media for all future updates.
Thank you for your ongoing support.
In Solidarity
2025 Sheet Metal Negotiating Committee
