UnionQualified.com is a service designed to assist contractors in choosing union
members with proper qualifications, certifications, and experience for specific
jobs. Contractors review applications and local union halls on-line by entering
the zip code of a specific jobsite area. Contractors view member’s applications
from the local union servicing that zip code only. Contractors are able to choose
the best qualified member for their job needs by selecting key words while searching
our database. Most problems listed below are eliminated when contractors hire directly
through local unions after selecting members based on job requirements. Contractors
can still view our member’s profiles, specific to any zip code area and request
that UnionQualified.com contact the selected members, even when a local union
decides not to join UnionQualified.com
Problems that face local unions today include…
• Inflexibility for contractors when hiring union members for their jobs.
• Noncompliant members remain working, while members in good standing are out
of work.
• Members stay on the “out of work” list when they are in actuality employed at the
time.
• Untrained non-union workers are employed because they have no knowledge
of how and where to reach the union halls in their area.
• Unqualified workers cause problems for contractors at a loss of valuable time
and money.
• Contractors perform work in union jurisdictions without the union’s knowledge.
• Loss of credibility for unions because their members try to perform job duties for
which they are not trained.
