SHEET METAL ICI BARGAINING UPDATE
Notice to all members of Sheet Metal Workers International Association employed in ICI
Sheet Metal in the Province of Ontario
April 7, 2025
The Sheet Metal Negotiating Committee and your Ontario elected leadership are writing to provide the most recent update to Sheet Metal Negotiations. Your Negotiating Committee is scheduled to continue negotiations on April 15 and 16, 2025.
The Ontario Sheet Metal Workers' and Roofers' Conference has tallied the ballots from the Strike Votes held throughout Ontario during the past 2 weeks. All SMWIA Local Unions (30, 47, 235, 269, 397, 473, 504, 537 and 562) held Strike Votes. Our members voted over 95% to pursue a strike action in the event negotiations do not result in a Ratified Collective Agreement.
Your Negotiating Committee heard loud a clear that our members require the following from negotiations:
~Maintain and protect the independence of our hiring halls;
~Generate hours earned in overtime for pension and benefits; and
~A fair increase to our wage package.
The Negotiating Committee will provide a further update on negotiations as information becomes available.
Please return to this webpage or your Local's website and/or social media for all future updates.
In Solidarity
Sheet Metal Negotiating Committee
