UNION HALL & TRAINING FACILITY

Sheet Metal Workers Local Union #63 has been serving Central and Western Massachusetts and Vermont since 1903. Our current membership is made up of approximately 470 active members (including:  Journeymen, Apprentices, Production and Classified workers) as well as 120 retiree-members. Our Contractors' Association consists of twenty seven signatory contractors (see CONTRACTORS tab).  Through the cooperative efforts involving labor management, organizing and state certified apprenticeship training programs, our contractors and members have dedicated their time, talent and resources for the purpose of providing quality craftsmanship at a fair and competitive price. Some of our work consists of architectural sheet metal, specialty and kitchen equipment, HVAC, roofing and welding.  We train and maintain our heritage of being the fabricators as well as installers of our craft-work.  In conjunctiion with globalization of labor markets and the newly emerging age of 'professional installers' of foreign-manufactured  or mass-produced disposable products, the Sheet Metal Workers of Local 63 have and will continue to take the necessary raw materials (sheet metal) and apply the craftsmanship, techniques and skill necessary to fullfill the demands and requirements of an engineer's/architect's plans and specifications.  We still make what we install from "scratch", with locally responsible, civic-minded and tax-paying citizens (our members) and we're proud of it!
