MEMBERS?
Members of Local 276 enjoy a work environment where fairness and safe working conditions are a primary focus. Members can be assured that they will receive a good wage and a benefit package that offers medical, dental and life insurance coverage as well as an excellent pension plan. |
THE APPRENTICE?
Apprenticeships give those people interested in becoming a sheet metal worker or a roofer the unique ability to "earn as you learn". New apprentices start out earning a percentage of the journeyman wage, this percentage increases in regular intervals as the apprentice progresses through their training.
In both sheet metal and roofing we require that all our apprentices undertake an extensive and comprehensive training program. These programs require the apprentice to serve a prescribed number of hours of practical trade training, as well as a corresponding amount of technical training.
