About OCS
In business since June of 1993, the Ontario Construction Secretariat (OCS) is all about its’ partners!
The twenty five organized building trade unions (the Workers) and the signatory contractors (the Employers) of Industrial, Commercial and Institutional (ICI) construction are the grassroot business partners comprising the OCS.
Together with representatives from the Provincial Government, we form a tripartite organization intended to enhance the well being of organized ICI construction in Ontario.
The OCS is a facilitator promoting relationships and interactions among its’ component business partners to identify, research and inform regarding issues of common concern, including data to assess current and future construction market trends.
“WE” seek to facilitate an improved competitive position for our partners through upgraded knowledge, direct relations with buyers and owners, an enlightened fact-based public awareness and by encouraging our youth to become respected members of the unionized craft building trades.
