In a March 2010 ruling, the National Labor Relations Board defined solicitation rules to be implemented at Pipefitter Local 636 when working with member contractors of the Mechanical Contractors Association of Detroit. Contractors who are not members of the Association are not affected by this ruling.

Member employers have the right to solicit unemployed pipefitters by name. In their Notice to Employees, the NLRB states, “We (Local 636) will advise members in writing that we will no longer give effect to any rule prohibiting our members from soliciting work from Association contactors without our consent, and prohibiting Association members from requesting specific individuals to be referred for employment.” Also stated, “We (Local 636) will not deny the requests of the employer members of the Mechanical Contractors Association of Detroit (the Association) for specific individuals to be referred for employment.”

This ruling applies to all journeymen pipefitters, apprentices, pre-apprentices, mechanical equipment servicemen (MES), mechanical equipment tradesmen (MET), and metal tradesmen (MT) employed by employer-members of the Mechanical Contractors Association of Detroit.

Recommendations for Solicitation Implementation

View the full text of the Notice to Employees.

Please note that the Association continues to consider the Union’s Out of Work List a valuable tool. This list tracks skill and certifications so that when we do not have someone specifically in mind we can use that list to hire.

One clear benefit of this ruling is that now employers who call for a specific employee will be perceived as the true employer, establishing a good employer/employee relationship early. This will satisfy the customer’s demand for quality and productivity.
