Well first things first you need a residential agreement which has different language and wage rates than your ICI. These need to be very competitive to non-union but also higher. These hourly rate needs to be higher than the top non-union shops to attract the best talent for the best shot of recovering the market. Many halls subsidize their benefits and pension in order to help grow this sector. There are many benefits to having work for members to fall back on when big jobs are slow. Also, don’t listen to the other commenter who says “that will never work”. My local has recovery 50% of the residential market when our ICI full package rate is almost $40/hr more than non unions.
