How to join UA Local 6
Each Plumbers & Pipefitters local sets its own intake process, and it varies — we don't guess at UA Local 6'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 6's current application window, fees and requirements, contact the hall directly at 507-288-4172.
How to apply for a job
Through the hall — Many locals dispatch work through a referral or out-of-work list. Whether UA Local 6 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.
Membership and apprenticeship applications are handled by UA Local 6 directly, not by Gulfstream. Call the hall at 507-288-4172 to ask about current intake. The hall states: UA organizing fund deduction of $0.10 per hour; Apprentices start at 50% of journeyman rate. Source: Hall-published source
