Because specific wage figures are not publicly disclosed by the union's business office to third parties, members and contractors must contact UA Local 192 directly to obtain the current Collective Bargaining Agreement (CBA) rates. Typically, the total package includes a base hourly rate plus employer-paid contributions to health, pension, and training funds. Apprentices enter the program at a reduced percentage of the journeyman rate, often starting around 45% to 50%, and receive scheduled increases every six to twelve months as they complete required classroom hours and on-the-job training. By the fifth year of the apprenticeship, the pay scale closely mirrors the full journeyman rate, reflecting the advanced skills acquired through the JATC program.
The chartered jurisdiction for UA Local 192 is extensive, covering all counties in the state of Wyoming. This broad territory requires a workforce that is often dispatched to remote project sites, including power plants, refineries, and government installations. The agreement covers all aspects of the piping trades, including residential plumbing, commercial HVAC, industrial process piping, and high-pressure steam systems. Due to the geographic size of the jurisdiction, the local utilizes a dispatch system that prioritizes local labor while ensuring that large-scale industrial projects are staffed efficiently.

Additionally, several signatory shops specialize in commercial plumbing and HVAC service for hospitals, schools, and municipal buildings in the Cheyenne and Casper markets. Hiring activity is often tied to large-scale capital projects, though there is a consistent demand for service and repair technicians to maintain existing mechanical systems across the state's vast commercial and industrial footprint.

UA Local 192 is headquartered in Cheyenne, WY and dispatches plumbers & pipefitters manpower throughout its chartered jurisdiction. Work performed inside that territory falls under the local's collective bargaining agreement and wage schedule, even when the contractor is based elsewhere and travels in.
Most locals require applicants to be at least 18, legally able to work in the U.S., hold a high school diploma or GED, pass a basic math/aptitude assessment and a drug screen, and be physically able to perform plumbers & pipefitters work. Some Local 192 programs give preference to applicants inside the jurisdiction or to veterans. Eligibility rules are set by the local's Joint Apprenticeship and Training Committee (JATC), so confirm the current criteria with the hall before applying.
Apprenticeship applications go through the UA Local 192 JATC, not through a contractor or a recruiter. Applications typically open in defined intake windows each year: you submit the application with proof of age, education, and residency, sit for an aptitude test, and then interview. Ranked applicants are placed on an eligibility list and indentured as signatory contractors call for apprentices. Gulfstream Strategic Placements does not process apprenticeship applications — contact the Local 192 training center directly.
Plumbers & Pipefitters apprenticeships generally run four to five years — roughly 8,000–10,000 hours of on-the-job training plus several hundred classroom hours per year. Apprentices earn a paycheck the entire time, stepping up through the wage periods until they turn out as journeymen at 100% of scale.
Signatory contractors hire through the local's hiring hall, so working under the UA Local 192 agreement generally means being a member or being organized in through the local's process. Journeymen from other locals can travel in by signing the out-of-work book, subject to the local's referral rules and manpower needs. Non-union plumbers & pipefitters professionals are usually placed with open-shop contractors instead — we recruit for both.
