Local 71 is a Union of 500 Sheet Metal Workers committed to the goal of improving the lives of our families and all Sheet Metal Workers in our community.

By reaching out to other workers in the community, we will continue to set the standards of fair wages, medical security and retirement benefits which can only be achieved through collective bargaining.

If you are working in the Sheet Metal Industry and feel that you are not being treated fairly, we are here to help. Our phone number is (716) 835-8836.
