How to join UA Local 3

Each Plumbers & Pipefitters local sets its own intake process, and it varies — we don't guess at UA Local 3's rules. The common paths into a Plumbers & Pipefitters local:

  1. Apprenticeship — Apply through the local's joint apprenticeship training committee (JATC). Most Plumbers & Pipefitters 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.

How to apply for a job

  • 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.
