Ironworkers reach deal to work at Horizon - By Sarah O'Donnell, The Edmonton Journal
Free direct flights to work and hundreds of guaranteed jobs have enticed an ironworkers union to break ranks with other building trade unions to help build a huge oilsands project.
The workers gave up on longstanding demands to be paid double time for some overtime hours in order to secure work at the $11-billion Horizon construction project.
In exchange, they will have access to direct flights from Edmonton to the Horizon site 75 kilometres north of Fort McMurray. And the deal may lead to more than 500 jobs that might have gone to non-unionized workers, said Darrell LaBoucan, business manager for Local 720 of the International Association of Bridge, Structural, Ornamental and Reinforcing Ironworkers.------------------------------------------- posted 6:50 AM :: reference link ::
