Boilermakers

Dispatch boilermakers through shutdowns, maintenance and new work.

Fill short industrial calls on the right welding ticket, then keep the file with the member.

Boilermaker locals dispatch members onto vessels, towers, heat-recovery work and industrial construction that may last days or months. The hall has to know who is ticketed and available before a signatory contractor’s gate time.

Understand the Environment

Work includes new construction, shutdowns, maintenance, welding and apprentice classifications on vessels, tanks, towers and related industrial fabrications, with calls that specify a welding process or procedure ticket.

Members travel among signatory contractors and plants, often on short shutdown calls, so the out-of-work list, travel status and current welding tickets have to stay at the union hall.

Representation typically involves travel and board, overtime on turnarounds, whether the dispatched welder held the required procedure, and jobsite health and safety in confined or elevated industrial work.

Scenario

  1. A strike deadline hits in the middle of an outage, and members on the books and members already on site need the announcement in one pass.

  2. Strike and Communications go out against the Hiring Hall list and the current jobsite rosters.

  3. Picket and hall-duty assignments write back to People.

  4. Finance keeps strike-fund and dues status visible so officers are not running two ledgers.

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.
