Plumbers union wages by local

Journeyman base scale for plumbers runs $26.50/hr to $87.75/hr an hour across the 162 UA locals whose own wage sheet we hold, with a median of $45.99/hr, about $91,980 a year at 2,000 hours, before the benefit package. Every figure below is read off that hall's published sheet and carries its effective date. All 240 UA locals in our directory are listed below; the 78 without a sheet on file yet are named with their hall so you can call for the current scale rather than read an estimate.

Plumbers working under a UA agreement are paid the journeyman scale their local negotiated, not a national figure. This page lists every UA local whose own published wage sheet we hold, highest base rate first, so you can see what plumbers actually earn hall by hall.

Quick answers: plumbers union pay

What do union plumbers get paid?

Union plumbers on a UA journeyman agreement earn a published base of $26.50/hr to $87.75/hr an hour, with a median of $45.99/hr, about $91,980 a year at 2,000 hours before overtime. Health, pension, annuity and training contributions are paid on top of the base rate, so the total package is often significantly higher. Rates are set locally, so the hall in your city sets the exact scale.

How do I find local plumbers union rates?

Search by city, state or local number, then open the local pay scale page to check the published base rate, benefits, effective date and rate-sheet PDF. The city and state links group nearby UA halls. Check the rate sources page for citations: older sheets are historical, not a promise of today’s pay. If no sheet is on file, contact the hall; sign up for rate-update emails to follow new sheets.
