Attention members,

We currently have several open calls for Apprentices, Steamfitters, and B – pressure welders. I encourage you to support our contractors and clients throughout this very important 2021 spring turnaround season. We need to give our contractors and clients the confidence that when they use Local 488, we will fill their calls to execute the work in a professional and safe manner. By completing this work, we will prove that we are, and always will be, the number one choice to supply quality, skilled trades people.
