WHAT WE DO
The Ontario Sheet Metal Workers’ and Roofers’ Conference (OSMWRC) was established in 1978 to co-ordinate and facilitate provincial wide collective bargaining for both sheet metal workers and roofers. Along with being the Employee Bargaining Agent or ‘EBA’ for both groups, the OSMWRC acts as a coordinating body with a Board of Directors comprised of leaders from the various Locals in the Province of Ontario. The OSMWRC helps to represent those locals in legal matters, industry circles, politics, and in the greater community through involvement and partnerships.
We are committed to ensuring our members continue to possess the necessary skills that have been passed down through generations as well as being trained to work with the latest technology in a safe and efficient manner, thereby ensuring that our companies deliver quality.
We invite all Roofers and Sheet Metal Workers to join our organization. Whether you’re an apprentice, a material handler, a sheet metal worker, sider and decker or a roofer, there’s a spot for you and your family in our union!
OUR MISSION
Through collective bargaining, the OSMWRC serves to raise the living standard of all our members. We strive to establish and maintain desirable, safe and healthy conditions with fair wages, benefits and training, in return for our members’ skilled labour.
The OSMWRC seeks to promote our skilled union members, their fair contractors, and the many benefits to customers and communities when they utilize our well trained roofers and sheet metal workers.
OUR VISION
Without good paying jobs, our working families and prosperous communities would be threatened. Without highly capable and dedicated workers our projects and again, our communities, would be jeopardized. We envision an Ontario where every roofer, sider, and sheet metal worker enjoys a quality standard of life, with adequate compensation for her/his services. We envision an Ontario full of opportunity, where good safe and healthy jobs are available for all, including women, aboriginals, new Canadians and youth.
