As a critical hub for the Inland Empire's construction sector, this local provides the specialized workforce necessary for large-scale logistics centers, healthcare facilities, and public infrastructure. The union ensures that members meet rigorous safety and proficiency standards through centralized training programs that align with California’s strict building codes and environmental regulations.
The market for Local 364 is characterized by high demand for a mechanical contractor and commercial plumbing due to the geographic expansion of Southern California's inland corridor. Being a member or a signatory contractor in Colton provides access to a stable pool of labor that supports both new construction and long-term facility maintenance. For those researching the 'local 364 union' or 'union 364', it is important to recognize their role in advocating for fair wages and comprehensive benefits within the competitive California mechanical trade landscape. Their presence stabilizes labor costs for signatory mechanical primes by providing a predictable, highly trained workforce capable of executing multi-million dollar mechanical contracts.
Effective July 26, 2024, the journeyman hourly rate for UA Local 364 stands at $57.18, contributing to a total package of $83.14 per hour when including fringe benefits. This package reflects the high cost of living and specialized skill requirements for the Inland Empire market. Apprentices enter the program at a percentage of the journeyman rate, typically starting near 45-50% and receiving incremental raises every six to twelve months as they complete required classroom hours and on-the-job training milestones. By the fifth year of the apprenticeship, workers often earn 85-90% of the journeyman scale. These structured increases ensure that as the apprentice's value to the contractor grows, their compensation scales accordingly until they reach full journeyman status and the current $57.18 base rate.
The signatory contractor landscape for Local 364 is comprised of a mix of large-scale mechanical primes and specialized service contractors. These firms handle massive industrial projects, public works, and high-rise commercial builds throughout the Inland Empire. Hiring is typically managed through the union's dispatch hall, where contractors request specific certifications like orbital welding or medical gas endorsements. Because the jurisdiction includes major logistics hubs, many contractors focus on long-term tenant improvements and sophisticated HVAC piping for climate-controlled facilities. The stability of the Local 364 agreement allows these contractors to bid on multi-year projects with clear visibility into labor costs and benefit obligations.
The hourly wage of $57.18 is the gross amount paid on a member's paycheck. The total package of $83.14 includes an additional $25.96 per hour in employer-paid benefits such as healthcare, pension, and training funds. These fringes are paid directly by the contractor into the trust funds and are not deducted from the base hourly rate.

While some specific service work may fall under different regional agreements, Local 364 members perform the heavy mechanical piping and equipment setting for heating and cooling systems on large-scale commercial and industrial job sites throughout Colton and the surrounding counties.
Wage increases are determined by the Master Labor Agreement negotiated between the union and signatory contractor associations. These usually occur annually or bi-annually. The current rate effective July 2024 reflects the most recent adjustment. Members and contractors should check the current CBA for scheduled future allocations to wages or fringe benefits.

UA Local 364 is headquartered in Colton, CA 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 364 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 364 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 364 training center directly.
Plumbers & Pipefitters apprenticeships generally run four to five years, roughly 8,000 to 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 364 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 are usually placed with open-shop contractors instead, we recruit for both.
Rates move with the collective bargaining agreement, typically on a fixed anniversary date each year of a three- to five-year contract, with negotiated increases split between the base wage and the fringe package. The figures on this page reflect the 08/31/2026 schedule; check with the Local 364 business office for any increase that has taken effect since.
