How to join SMART Local 402

Each Railroad Mechanical Workers local sets its own intake process, and it varies — we don't guess at SMART Local 402's rules. The common paths into a Railroad Mechanical Workers local:

  1. Apprenticeship — Apply through the local's joint apprenticeship training committee (JATC). Most Railroad Mechanical Workers programs open applications on a set schedule and require an aptitude test and interview.
  2. Organize in as an experienced worker — Journeymen and technicians already working in the trade can usually apply directly to the hall for membership.
  3. Transfer from another local — Members of the same international can request a transfer card through their current hall.

For SMART Local 402's current application window, fees and requirements, contact the hall directly.

How to apply for a job

  • Through the hall — Many locals dispatch work through a referral or out-of-work list. Whether SMART Local 402 uses one, how to sign it and how often to re-sign are set by the local — confirm with the hall.
  • Through Gulfstream — Gulfstream recruits for signatory and open-shop mechanical, electrical and controls contractors. You do not need to be a member to apply to our openings.
