Roofers & Waterproofers

Dispatch roofers and waterproofers and keep the jobsite file with the member.

Fill membrane, built-up and waterproofing calls, then keep hours and fall-protection issues on the union record.

Roofer and waterproofer locals dispatch members onto commercial, institutional and industrial roofs and below-grade work. Jobs are short, weather-sensitive and split among signatory contractors; the hall holds the record.

Understand the Environment

Classifications include built-up roofing, single-ply membrane, shingles, waterproofing, torch or hot work and apprentice assignments, each with its own tickets, rates and weather or standby rules.

Members move among signatory contractors and roofs, including short weather-dependent calls, so the out-of-work list, torch or fall-protection tickets and last-job record have to stay at the union.

Representation often involves show-up and weather standby, overtime, whether a member was on a roofing or waterproofing rate, and fall-protection or hot-work practices the agreement and the law both require.

Scenario

  1. A steward holds a roof after a weather call-off because the morning fall-protection setup is gone.

  2. The safety case stays on the member and the contractor after the crew is sent home.

  3. Hiring Hall records the show-up and puts the crew back on the list; Communications tells anyone still travelling in.

  4. Repeated weather and protection stops on that contractor become a hall issue, not a one-day argument.

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.
