Smart Local 170

The International Association of Sheet Metal, Air, Rail, and Transportation Workers (SMART) is a labor union serving, protecting, and raising the living standards of skilled men and women workers employed throughout the United States, Canada, and Puerto Rico in the construction, manufacturing, railroad, and shipyard industries. We strive to establi... sh and maintain through signatory employers desirable working conditions and thus provide for our members and their families that measure of comfort, happiness, and security to which every person is entitled in return for his or her labor from a deep sense of pride in our trade through a fair day's work for a fair day's pay. SMART is one of North Americas most dynamic and diverse unions with 203,000 members. SMARTs members produce and provide the vital services that move products to market, passengers to their destinations and ensure the quality of the air we breathe. We are sheet metal workers, service technicians, bus operators, engineers, conductors, sign workers, welders, production employees and more. With members in scores of different occupations, we advocate for fairness in the workplace, excellence at work and opportunity for all working families. SMART members are unique in the construction industry as the only trade that designs, manufactures and installs our own products. These skilled craftspersons take ordinary types of flat metal and make them into specialized products for various duct and ventilation systems, as well as architectural and specialized metal fabrication. Members of the trade are proud of its special distinction: They not only build; they create. © 2020 by SMART LOCAL 170. All rights reserved.Read More
