The QCCUS is a jointly formed coalition of the International Brotherhood of Boilermakers, Iron Ship Builders, Blacksmiths, Forgers, and Helpers, AFL-CIO (IBB) and the United Association of Journeymen and Apprentices of the Plumbing and Pipe Fitting Industry of the United States and Canada (UA). The QCCUS was established in 2003 and modeled on the Quality Control Council Canada, whose 25 years of successful labor-management relations serves as a guide to the QCCUS. In Canada, 90% of the industry is organized. The QCCUS exclusively represents employees in the Non Destructive Testing (NDT) industry. Fifty percent of these members are in the IBB and fifty percent are in the UA.

The vision of the QCCUS is to represent and train the best of the NDT Industry in cooperation with the Employers Association to meet the challenges facing the NDT and Construction Industry in the future.

The objective is to provide our NDT Employers with preferred access to contractors’ signatory to both UA and IBB agreements and preferred access to inspection work.
