From tinsmiths to high tech specialists, Sheet Metal Workers have applied their skills long before our founding members organized our union on January 25, 1888 in Toledo, Ohio. We have established a reputation as a highly skilled workforce whose abilities benefit everyone where they work, live, play and pray. We reach for new avenues in our constant pursuit for a better quality of life for all workers.

Our Mission is "...to establish and maintain desirable working conditions and thus provide for themselves and their families that measure of comfort, happiness, and security to which every citizen is entitled in return for his labor, from a deep sense of pride in our trade, to give a fair day's work for a fair day's pay."
