Labor Relations
SMACNA’s Labor Committee represents member and industry interests in the negotiation of the Standard Form of Union Agreement with the Sheet Metal Workers’ International Association (SMWIA). The National Joint Adjustment Board for the sheet metal industry (NJAB), jointly sponsored by SMACNA and the SMWIA, promotes harmonious labor-management relations by providing grievance and interest arbitration and mediation services. The labor relations department conducts seminars and programs that educate contractors on such topics as labor/management cooperation, labor law, mutual gains bargaining techniques and dispute resolution, and keeps contractors aware of current labor relations and trust fund issues.
