Pipeline
UA Local Union #488 represents a significant participant in the UA Canadian National Pipeline Agreement due to its historic participation in pipeline construction since the discovery of oil in the Leduc region in 1947. Since that time, the Alberta Oil and Gas Industry has produced one of the most intricate and integrated pipeline systems in the world.
The Canadian National Pipeline Agreement has been in place for many years and is negotiated by a group of UA Representatives, affected Local Unions, and Pipeline Contractor Representatives under the auspices of the Pipeline Contractors Association of Canada (PLCAC). The current UA Mainline Pipeline Agreement of Canada was recently negotiated and has an effective date of May 1st, 2003 and runs until expiry on April 30th, 2007.
