I work for a company that has just gotten into this union about 2 years ago . Since we have been unionized .... we get paid 1 dollar more then our regular wage BUT now there is no overtime until 50 hours of labour has been reached . We are the lowest paid in our union..
John Savador is the best rep ever. He always takes care of the workers much respect for him.
Local 183 sucks, the union reps play with the memebers. They have too many members and not enough jobs. The take the members money and do nothing for the memebers. In a meeting for negotiating new contract the members were told the union will not back them up if they choose to strike. You are better off getting a non union job. Currently the union has members litterally fighting each other for jobs at 4 o'clock and every time I am at the union they are accepting new members. Jack Olivera and Luis Camara do nothing for you but put in a bad spot. They talk a lot of talk but do NOTHING for you. I have never seen (in 8 years) this many members without jobs.
Dimetra(Dentist)is the best of the best if you want teeth cleaning
Appointments are always on time and clinic is super clean. Had great experiences with the staff here and did a great job with cleanings and my root canal!
Says closing 5 pm but they close whenever they want
My husband is part of that Union and it's perfect!!!
Doing everything in their power to avoid paying me my vacation pay which they've had for over 14 months now
This local is like calling rogers cell phone help lines...get ready for the run around. 15 different ppl answer the phones and cant direct your call in the appropriate fashion.the 12 years ive been in the labourers union ive never had locals hang up on me when they are asked reasonable questions.they will outright ignore you. Im glad i dont have to rely on this local for anything other then a union dues bill.
My husband is a member of Liuna local 183 and their benefits are good and since me as a wife of a member of local 183 no problems with anything or benefits and they optical service is good
cant trust my reps. and they make me grieve everything little thing i need from benefits, also they canceled my benefits for working 110/120 hours in a month due to work shortage, they didnt tell me about it and i can only pay in person, also when i was on disability they made me grieve my benefits which was hard when your in recovery, honestly if it wasnt for the fect that the job site itself is unionized, id get my own benefits plan and retirement plan, it would be cheaper and would allow me to go to outside lawyers when issues come up (local 183 makes you sign your right to get outside lawyers away, meaning if they dont give you something you are entitled to, GOOD LUCK!!!!
I know a lot of working class people who are represented by this union also known as LIUNA local 183 Honestly all I ever heard is positive things , from great health benefits, job security,great pay, and a lot of different options,opportunities for growth and advancement with plenty of educational courses being offered to the members. Sometimes I wish my union was this powerful.
Im Happily and Gainfully employed by Local 183. My Rep JM has been nothing but helpful to me the entire time I've been with the union. He's a great guy and I owe him many thanks. I love my Job and it shows in my work and positive attitude. ~One Slick Handy-Man
Finding work at local 183 extreme difficult unless you know someone. I came to this place seeking for work in construction and still cannot find any things intrigue. I am not member of the local 183 and not sure, or not if worth it. If I attempt to call an employer at work, no one seems to answer the phone. Most of the time, they want to hear about your experience and not who you really are. The money, diploma, the training, and achievement it joke. On job construction site, it even worst if demanding for a job because most don't speak English, or want to hire, or try to assist. Sadden to see most employee have no proper training, safety regulation, or certificate. Better off talking to someone that you know if looking for employment. Don't waste time, money, and energy here if you don't know anyone here. Even today, I still don't have work in construction and it hard to find good peoples. I Speak from my experience.
One of the staff members was simply very rude.. She needs people manners.
Calling/ going to the benefits department is literally a joke and a waste of time. I really don't know how these people get jobs. These people speak to you like you don't know what you are talking about. They have a lot of attitude and do not really care about your problems.
I love my union. If you're willing to put in the work, willing to help yourself by taking the training,the Union will provide that training. But if you want to just skate by and do nothing to help yourself, how can the Union help you? The Union is not magic. It's a resource; it's up to you to figure out how to best employ that resource. So if you are out of work use that time to upgrade your skills make yourself more employable. And stop bashing the Union because you're out of work and do something about it.
I'm rating the facility which is great if you have a large event to host. The insurance that covers the workers in terms of eye and drugs coverage is excellent
Isabella in the Benefits department is such a pleasure. She knows her job! I truly appreciate this union!
Terrible customer service. New training needed or new employees.
COMPLETE GARBAGE STAY AWAY FROM MAFIA UNION WONT PAY YOUR TAXES WONT HELP WITH EMPLOYMENT WASTE OF SPACE TIME AND ENERGY ALL THEY HIRE IS ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS AND PAY $10 CASH THEN DEPORT THEM WHAT A JOKE UNION
What can I say scams scams scams and more scams I don t trust this local 183 as far as I can toss them
I have been with local 183 from 2003 I started of in the low rise residential forming and then got into sewer and watermain . All the companies I worked for I was introduced from someone else or I would not have known about the jobs. The 183 reps did not find these jobs for me. I like the fact I have benefits and a sense of security and a good paying job.The 183 reps can only do so much about jobs available but I also find workers take advantage of the fact that they are in the union and tend to work less hard and that's why a lot of these people are looking for work I find if you work hard you will always have work and people who complain are the ones who have the wrong work ethic.
Late or no reply to questions or help with online support.
I call my rep because I was getting bulied and mistreated at work from my foreman so many times I couldn't take it no more I had to leave on day . He told Me bulling it happens in school not here. Well Mr rep bulling it happens also in the job site and can be very dangerous if u went of any safety program u should know better specially for a coordinator. Or maybe because the rep and the company owner are friends .at the end of the day I couldn't collect ie the union did absolutely nothing for me .plus in the job site was illegal immigrants that the union knew it through only things they did work with someone else name and insurance number .
Calling the benefits department is worse than calling a government office. The wait time is ridiculous! For example 2 hours combined on 2 different calls. My husband has been a member for 6 years and being his wife I have been given no information or authorization to ask any questions about direct billing regarding dental and massages. I have been using these benefits for years. I provided all information necessary and was literally given nothing. What a waste of time. THE BENEFITS DEPARTMENT IS DISGRACEFUL. Just simply RUDE. Regards, Disgruntled members wife!
I have been a member since 2003 and I must say this union by far is the BEST,
Great union for ruining members lives. They costed my causin $70,000.00 and counting.
Shame on this organization. They are charging late fees for the membership fee not caring about the current economic situation but when I call the union for help to find a job they say theres nothing available.
Writing on behalf of Amador Carvajal, Member of Liuna Union 183, great customer service when I called. Diana Reseno was very professional. She is just the best. Thanks to customer service for having Diana in this customer service position.
I not sure how you go along to get into the union is can someone tell me how.
I am a part of 183 i love it its well run we have or troubles but we work thro them love my union
Without unionmy wages and benefits were horrible, management treated you like slave,thankGOD for 183 it saved me somuch
I joined the 183 this past summer 2018 and I work for a bridge building company -10% vacation pay - incredible benefits - great hourly pay - safe work environment - weekly pay/direct deposit - pension Proud member
This place makes me feel like I m not really going for a routine dental appointment. The whole dental team here is bubbly, wonderful, kind and welcoming that s why I look forward to every appointment! They take care of you and make sure you get the proper treatment.
Good professional place good people good clean place
Love being part of local 183 and being taken care of and felt appreciated
Reps are useless when you re out of work. I was out of work for 3 months last year.
Running on a 1960s system.. time to get with the times. Get with the program
Always gracious hosts and its facility provides great service.
