WE CAN HELP YOU

Our Local Union has a history of being aggressive in organizing on behalf of its’ members and those who wish to be organized.

Local Union 47 is affiliated with the Canadian Labour Congress and the Ontario Federation of Labour in order to ensure a voice for our members both nationally and provincially. As well, the Sheet Metal Workers’ International Association and Its’ member locals are affiliated with the AFL-CIO-CLC giving us an even broader voice internationally.
