The four pipeline craft unions are the Laborers International Union of North America, the International Union of Operating Engineers, , the International Brotherhood of Teamsters, and the United Association of Journeymen and Apprentices of the Plumbing and Pipefitting Industry of the United States and Canada.
 

There are presently ten collective agreements administered by the Pipe Line Contractors Association of Canada that cover the type of work preformed by Members of the Association in Canada.  Four are used for construction of mainline transmission systems, four apply to distribution systems, one is used for pipeline investigation and assessment work, and one covers field overhaul of equipment.  Other collective agreements may be created by the parties as necessary to cover work that may result due to such factors as technological innovation.
 

Copies of these agreements are available for purchase on our
