I N T E R N A T I O N A L U N I O N O FP A I N T E R S A N D A L L I E D T R A D E SLOCAL UNION 177 - ALBERTA AND NORTHWEST TERRITORIES, CANADAIndustrial Painters Get the Job Done in CanadaGeneral President James Williams and otherleaders in the IUPAT often remind our membersthat the job we’re on is a tryout forour next one. Well, members in Local Union 177obviously took that to heart on a recent job workingfor IUPAT signatory company Aluma, and it gotnoticed. This letter is from a construction managerat SemCAM to Aluma about some of our brothers inthe north, and the type of impression all of usshould strive for on the job site to keep our jobsunion jobs!I was the construction manager at the SemCAM K3gas plant for a tank repair project that started at thebeginning of July 2010. Recently, with the assistanceof your company, we executed one of the last steps inthis four month project.I have had around 15 different vendors take partin this project from beginning to end. Although eachgroup plays a significant role in a project’s success, Ibelieve it is important to recognize certain people fortheir outstanding efforts that go above and beyondthe normal call of duty. In saying that, I want to letyou know that the group of painters Aluma sent outdid a fantastic job in every aspect. They were verycustomer service-oriented and were the hardest workinggroup on this project by far. They were problemsolvers in the face of many obstacles, but overcameeach with flying colors. They worked safe and verywell together and the quality of the product wasexceptional. They required very little supervision anddid not overwhelm me with requests.Because of these workers, I will not hesitate to useyour painting division of Aluma in the future on anyprojects I am on, and expect me to request this specificgroup of guys.Now for the most important part of this letter, thenames of those individuals:Jason Villain- Project foremanJuan Flores- painterJorge Flores- painterAndres Flores- painterPlease pass on my gratitude for a job well doneand I would encourage you to recognize them.Thank you.IUPAT industrial painters from Local Union 177 who are showing the world we're the best in the business.
