CLAC Union

CLAC has a work environment that allows for staff to manage their own time, this allowed me to accomplish many great things as well as look after unplanned events throughout the day. I was able to learn from my colleagues and create strong relationships, both within the organization and with those I worked with on behalf of CLAC. Our workplace culture was professional and also allowed for good work/life balance. There were many challenges within my role as Program Manager however I enjoyed all aspects of the job. I specifically enjoyed travelling throughout Alberta and Saskatchewan, working with Indigenous communities to provide Pre-Employment programs and help successful participants gain meaningful employment opportunities. I also attended many events across North America representing CLAC and the SIAC, as we continue to work together towards improving scaffold training across Canada, and to ensure that the training is available to both CLAC members and non-members alike. Overall I have very good memories working at CLAC and am proud of all of our accomplishments to date. 


CLAC has been a good resource for job search and training.

Representation was mediocre: While working on CLAC jobs I could always count on a CLAC steward being present as a worker on the job site (not management or supervision) these workers were generally chosen based on their credentials rather than their loyalty to the company on site, this to me speaks of honesty/good intentions on CLAC's part. However as working conditions worsened and morale went down due to changes made by the hiring companies and clients, the CLAC stewards were powerless. Although CLAC has good intentions, they don't seem to have any actual pull when representing the workers. They are only there as a formality for when workers are dismissed so that on paper proper procedure was followed.

Training was decent: CLAC has on-site training and training facilities to make sure workers are ready to enter the job site.

After working for a company that did not appreciate their employees or their efforts, this has been a culture shock for me. I have been with CLAC Alberta Training for a few months, but the few months I have been here have been amazing. Everyone and I mean everyone is invested in your success and the success of the team. The environment is so positive and encouraging, it makes you want to do your best because someone is always appreciating your efforts. I wish I would have started my career here as it truly has helped me recover from my previous job experience and help me flourish in the skills I knew I had. Every morning I look forward to work and seeing my colleagues. It’s truly been the best experience I could have asked for.

I have been with CLAC AB Training for 9 years , and it is by far the best place that I have worked. The benefits are awesome, the culture is great, my co workers are the best. They are always building us up as employees and are trying to fit in team building events so that we can get to know each other more. At typical day at my job is to go in and answer the emails that came in over night then I go onto doing what I need to do for the day. AB Training has three areas of jobs, reception, booking specialist, completions. There is also room for advancement if interested. There is always something to do if you are slow and there is always someone that can use help with something. I love being able to supply our members with great service.  We have the best team ever. 

After going to the interview I knew right away it would be a place I would love to work for! and luckily I did get the job offer. I was very excited to start and once I did my feeling about the job have not changed! Love to come to work and feel like part of a team that accomplishes a lot together! Everyone is super friendly and happy, smiling. Just happy to be at work and happy to help people and help each other accomplish tasks. Very good work culture I am very happy I was given the opportunity to be part of this team and love that there is plenty of job advancement within the company! They make you feel very much an important part of the team and keep you connected and informed! 

CLAC is a wonderful organization with a strong commitment to the cause of workers across Canada and the world.
They have experienced tremendous growth which is a testament to the service they provide.
It can be apparent in some teams within the organization that the rapid expansion of the business has not been entirely matched with the organizational structures and managerial know-how.
The compensation, benefits, pension, and additional benefits are excellent and the work environment in many of the offices is lovely and friendly; you really get the sense that you are a welcome member of the CLAC family.

Up at 5pm on bus by 6 pm start work at 7pm. start the shift with a tool box meeting an a small safety talk then be given work scope and crews for the night.  learned how to work safe in an open pit mine. not to happy with management, they needed work. coworkers were great like always there are some you can do without but you take what you get and work with it. hardest part of job was to stay awake during your shift. also not to take short cuts just to get the work done.  best part of job for me was seeing all the pieces moved and assembled and operational again. without injury.

I've worked within CLAC training department for 8 years. This organization treats employees like actual people with a very flexible culture. I've been able to advance my career while also starting a family. Working here offers me stability, benefits for myself and my family, and the ability to help others advance in their career. I was able to change my work hours once I returned from mat leave to accommodate daycare pick up. We receive automatic annual increases every year. 

Company had broken black and white rules within the collective agreement. Ie; parking allowance not being paid, visiting more then one job site in a day via your own vehicle, employing unqualified workers in a red seal trade. This union is a joke. When contacted about about the parking allowance not being followed in accordance with the collective agreement we were told " just do what they say" ...."when the agreement was written we were thinking about the service guys not all the employees". Collective agreement clearly said: 18$ parking allowance per day for all employees.

CLAC Alberta Training is an organization who prioritizes the individuals on the team, ensuring that they are equipped with the skills, resources, autonomy and confidence to succeed. And it is that commitment to individual success, that results in the talented, capable and loyal team that CLAC has today. The investment in team culture is present every single day we walk into the office. This is an organization where you have an opportunity to make an impact, grow your skills and work with great people along the way.
