TRAVEL PAY

A career as a Union Roofer does mean as an employee accepting the fact that we will be covering some miles driving to jobsites. During a career in commercial roofing you will do many different jobs in different locations. Finish one job and off to the next.

To help member with the cost of driving we have what is called Travel Expense. Members receive their travel expense at the end of every week as part of their paycheck. This is a written agreement we have with our signatory contractors.
