The CLRA NL provides leadership to benefit members involved in the unionized construction industry by establishing a productive, competitive and stable labour environment.

WHAT WE DO

Who we are

The CLRA NL is the sole bargaining agent for all unionized employers engaged in the industrial, commercial and institutional sectors in the construction industry in Newfoundland and Labrador.

We are dedicated to providing strong representation for our members in labour relations matters, negotiations of Provincial Agreements and to promote labour stability.

The CLRA NL is engaged with the negotiation and administration of 16 provincial construction collective agreements with each individual construction trade union. Our work includes the negotiation and administration of collective agreements, which may require specific flexibility to respond to the nature of the industry. 

The CLRA NL coordinates industry-specific training opportunities with guidance from our members to support a highly trained work force. The CLRA NL believes that providing training opportunities to our members to enhance and develop their job skills is not only in the best interest of the construction industry, but also in the best interest of the Province.
