How to join UA Local 91
Each Plumbers & Pipefitters local sets its own intake process, and it varies — we don't guess at UA Local 91'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.

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.
