How to join UA Local 484
Each Plumbers & Pipefitters local sets its own intake process, and it varies — we don't guess at UA Local 484's rules. The common paths into a Plumbers & Pipefitters local:
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.
Organize in as an experienced worker — Journeymen and technicians already working in the trade can usually apply directly to the hall for membership.
Transfer from another local — Members of the same international can request a transfer card through their current hall.
For UA Local 484's current application window, fees and requirements, contact the hall directly at 805-643-6345.
How to apply for a job
Through the hall — Many locals dispatch work through a referral or out-of-work list. Whether UA Local 484 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.

The hall states: 7,500 field hours and 1,000 class hours to finish; 18+, diploma/GED and California license; Drug/alcohol screening. Source: Hall-published source
