Our Contractors

Union Representation

Some private contractors choose to have a unionized workforce. In such cases, the union, like Smart Local 18, would represent the employees in collective bargaining, negotiations, and grievance procedures. The terms and conditions of employment, including wages, benefits, working hours, and workplace rules, are often collectively bargained between the union and the contractor.

Contractors List

Smart Local 18 is dedicated to providing invaluable support and resources to contractors within the sheet metal, air, rail, and transportation industries. As a union, we understand the unique challenges that contractors face and strive to make their professional journey smoother.
