Overview
District 11 was chartered on March 15th, 1984 and has a membership of 950. In 1984, the United Cement, Lime, Gypsum and Allied Workers voted to merge with the International Brotherhood. The merger of the CLGAW and its 10,000 members who dominate the building products and supplies industry with the Boilermakers forged a greater ability to provide services to its members. The CLGAW division has its own International Vice President who sits on the International Executive Council. The members of D-11 elect their own Business Manager and maintain their own funds which are used for programs which benefit this membership. The members of the D-11 have Qualifications as Millwrights, Welders, Machinist, Heavy Duty & Automotive Mechanic, Process Operators, and Product Support Workers.
D-11 is made up of 13 Local Lodges in Western Canada. The members work primarily in the cement, wall board, and quarrying industries. They also represented members in such diverse industries as roofing materials. The formation of D-11 has allowed the 13 Local Lodges to forge very close relationships amongst the members and allows them to react quickly when any of their Lodges finds themselves in trouble. This is especially critical in times of job action when members of affected Locals have received much needed financial help.
Delegates of all Locals meet once a year to share information and to form policies that are good for all of D-11 members. District-11 also maintains strong ties with the Construction Boilermaker Lodges.
