As a union sheet metal worker, you will belong to a skilled, technical craft
that works with other building tradesmen to construct commercial, industrial, and
residential buildings. Office complexes, hospitals, schools, power plants, jails,
theaters, restaurants, and homes all need the services of a skilled sheet metal
worker.
You will be taught the skills needed to fabricate and install all types of
commercial, architectural, and industrial metal products. This includes, but is
not limited to:
- heating, ventilating, and air conditioning systems and components
- architectural metal roofing and siding
- food service and hospital equipment
- lockers, shelving, and partitions
- signs
Sheet Metal Workers Local Union #12 works in conjunction with
SMACNA (Sheet
Metal and Air Conditioning Contractors National Association) and the
iTi (International Training Institute) to train, employ, and promote the sheet
metal industry.
But the best part about becoming a union sheet metal worker is that all the
skills and training that you need will be taught to you while you work, and at
no cost to you!
If you think the prospect of making over $22,000.00 a year right out
of high school, with regular yearly wage increases, and benefits like
full medical coverage (after six months) for you and your family, pension
and annuity for retirement, and over 800 hours of high-tech classroom
instruction at no cost, sounds good to you...then read on!
