Fact: Every new apprentice in the IBEW Local 586 is given a Contract of Apprenticeship signed by our Local Apprenticeship Committee and the Ministry of Training, Colleges and Universities before starting work on a construction site. It is against the law to do the work of an electrician or registered apprentice without being in possession of a Contract of Apprenticeship registered to your current employer. The IBEW Local 586 Ottawa was recently successful in lobbying the Ontario Liberal Government in their announcement of “on the spot ticketing” for this common place violation by law breaking unscrupulous electrical contractors. The fines are set at $195.00 for the unregistered worker and $295.00 for unprincipled employer.
