Well the wait is over, @KONECorporation is buying @TKE_Global according to the latest news. Will anti-competition laws slow this down? https://t.co/3Ph4ABVWAz

Rumour has it that the @IUEC and NEEA (@koneamericas @schindlerNA @OtisElevatorCo and @TKE_NA) signed a new collective agreement.

[Ray Eleid @solucore]

The @IUEC50 is in active negotiations with NEEA (@koneamericas @schindlerNA @OtisElevatorCo and @TKE_NA) as their current collective agreement approaches expiry at midnight on April 30, 2025. We anticipate a no-strike outcome, given both parties committed to reaching settlement.

[Ray Eleid @solucore]

...Both sides have been negotiating in good faith. The IUEC and NEEA reached an agreement on April 10, 2025 in the evening.

[Ray Eleid @solucore]

The Collective Agreement with the International Union of Elevator Constructors (@IUEC) expired in Saskatchewan and Manitoba. This would impact all the major companies (KONE, Otis, Schindler, TK Elevator) that are part of NEEA (National Elevator & Escalator Association).

Correct me if I am wrong. The building opened in 2010 that makes the elevators and escalators 14 years new. Boy they sure don’t build them like they used to. #Plannedobsolescence?

Why do elevator repairs take so long? An industry insider explains the complexities of elevator maintenance contracts and how they can confound building owners/managers and leave residents to deal with long outages. https://t.co/zRfhx4p8Vp #LdnOnt

The strike in BC has been avoided today. The IUEC local 82 and the elevator manufacturers are attempting to reach a new collective agreement through talks at the Labour Relations Board.

This is an issue regarding the cracks that develop and not the counterweight sheaves. When doing a five year test (CAT5), the counterweight frames and welds started cracking.

[Ray Eleid @solucore]

The anticipated @TSSAOntario DIRECTOR’S SAFETY ORDER regarding the Dover counterweight frames is now released. Ref 301/23 require building owners to repair the counterweight frames by April 15, 2024. High-speed #elevators made between 1977 and 1983 with the “U” type crosshead.
