Millwrights & Industrial Mechanics

Coordinate millwrights across industrial construction, alignment and shutdowns.

Dispatch on rigging, alignment and industrial tickets, then keep the jobsite file with the member.

Millwright locals dispatch members onto machinery installation, alignment, conveyors and industrial shutdowns. The hall has to know who is ticketed for the call before a signatory contractor’s gate time.

Understand the Environment

Classifications include construction millwright, industrial mechanic, rigger, welder and apprentice work on machinery, conveyors, turbines and related installations, with calls that specify alignment, rigging or welding tickets.

Members move among signatory contractors and plants on new industrial construction and short outages, so the out-of-work list, travel status and current tickets have to stay at the union hall.

Representation often involves travel and board on shutdowns, overtime on turnarounds, whether a member was on a millwright or rigger rate, and jobsite safety on lifts, alignment and hot work.

Scenario

  1. Several millwrights come off a shutdown saying overtime on alignments was paid three different ways.

  2. The business agent runs a report across that plant and the last two outages instead of stacking separate stories.

  3. Communications asks members still on the list who worked those jobs to confirm hours the same way.

  4. The combined file goes into the next signatory bargaining round.

How Union Software Helps

Hiring Hall

See who is on a shutdown call and who is on the bench when a vote or announcement has to go out.

Finance & Dues

Keep dues and any strike-fund activity on the same member records.

Education & LMS

Know who is current on the tickets a call actually requires before the dispatcher sends them.

Voting

Run the strike vote and see turnout by contractor, ticket and list status.

Strike

Turn the same lists into picket and hall-duty assignments if the vote carries.

Operationally Ready

Built for millwright locals that dispatch industrial construction and shutdowns, represent travelling members and bargain with signatory contractors.
