When it comes to choosing a commercial cleaning service—especially for the complex demands of post-construction cleaning—experience, professionalism, and compliance matter as much as spotless results.
One of the most powerful indicators of these qualities is union membership, and at A2Z Building Maintenance, we are proud members of LIUNA Local 1059.
This membership is not just a label—it’s a commitment to high standards, safe work practices, and a skilled, reliable workforce. Here’s why it makes a difference.
1. Skilled, Trained, and Certified Workforce
LIUNA (the Labourers’ International Union of North America) Local 1059 represents some of the most highly trained construction and cleaning professionals in the region.
Union members receive ongoing training and certifications in areas critical to post-construction and commercial cleaning, such as:
- Safe handling of construction debris and hazardous materials
- Use of industrial cleaning equipment and chemicals
- WHMIS (Workplace Hazardous Materials Information System) compliance
- Fall protection and elevated work platform safety
For clients, this means every cleaner on site has the skills and knowledge to handle your facility safely and effectively.
2. Commitment to Workplace Safety
Post-construction cleaning often means working in environments where hazards are still present—dust, sharp debris, incomplete structures, or heavy equipment in use.
LIUNA Local 1059 members are trained to follow strict safety protocols, reducing the risk of accidents and ensuring compliance with Ontario’s Occupational Health and Safety Act.
At A2Z, this translates to:
- Fewer delays due to accidents or safety violations
- Proper use of PPE (Personal Protective Equipment)
- Site-specific hazard assessments before work begins
3. Reliability and Accountability
Union membership ensures that our staff are committed, dependable, and accountable.
With LIUNA Local 1059, there’s a clear code of conduct and a grievance process—so you know that labour standards are maintained, and workers are treated fairly. This stability means better retention of experienced staff, resulting in higher-quality cleaning over time.
4. Professionalism That Reflects on Your Business
Whether you’re a general contractor handing over a new building or a property manager maintaining a commercial space, the final clean is part of your reputation.
Our LIUNA affiliation means clients and inspectors see a trained, professional cleaning crew, which can be the difference between a smooth handover and costly rework.
5. Supporting Local Workforce Standards
By hiring a unionized cleaning service like A2Z Building Maintenance, you’re supporting fair wages, benefits, and career development for local workers. This not only boosts morale and retention but also strengthens the community.
6. Why It Matters for Post-Construction Cleaning
Post-construction cleaning is far more than dusting and mopping—it’s a detailed, multi-phase process that can include:
- Removal of construction debris
- Deep cleaning of floors, windows, and fixtures
- Dust control and air quality management
- Final detailing before client walk-through
With LIUNA-trained crews, every phase is executed with attention to safety, efficiency, and detail, ensuring your space is move-in ready and compliant with all safety standards.
The Bottom Line
Choosing A2Z Building Maintenance means choosing a company that’s union proud and client focused. Our membership in LIUNA Local 1059 guarantees that you’re getting a professional, well-trained, and safety-conscious team for your commercial or post-construction cleaning needs.
