CODC: Proof That Cooperation Works Since 1994, CODC has united Sask’s construction industry, bringing together unions & employer trade divisions to create training programs and workforce solutions that benefit everyone. (CODC) is a registered not-for-profit corporation that brings together the CLR Construction Labour Relations Association of Saskatchewan Inc. and the Saskatchewan Provincial Building & Construction Trades Council. All of the Saskatchewan building trades unions and the corresponding employer trade divisions are members of CODC. Since 1994, CODC has created a win/win environment by establishing mutual goals and objectives for all our stakeholder partners, and creating, developing and delivering programs for mutual benefit. Not only do employees and employers benefit, but so too do project owners, since our efforts have led to a stronger industry, enhanced training opportunities and the best possible supply network. Some of the most important initiatives that CODC has developed to benefit employees, employers and project owners are:
Conferences: CODC hosts labour/management conferences designed to identify issues in the single and multi-trade, multi-employer environment
Big Table Bargaining: CODC underwrites the expenses incurred by industry-wide collective bargaining
Issues Facilitation: CODC underwrites the direct expenses of facilitating the resolution of issues that are of industry wide importance
Owner/Client Forums: CODC holds these forums to provide a platform for open dialogue with construction industry stakeholders
Policy Development: CODC develops policies for the use and betterment of our stakeholders. Trade and Apprenticeship Promotion and Recruitment: CODC and its members have initiated and participate in activities to attract persons into the construction trades in Saskatchewan
The PROS are ready to supply the construction workforce
In Saskatchewan, the organized construction industry has demonstrated that it can meet the varying supply demands of project owners. That’s because over many years, CODC Construction Opportunities Development Council Inc. (CODC) has worked with employees and employers to build a labour network and training system that ensures project owners have access to a ready supply of highly trained and skilled workers. We’re proud of our long and proven history of researching and developing programs and initiatives to strengthen our industry and supply project clients with the workforce they need to do the job right.
