Labor Labor Relations

Sheet Metal and Air Conditioning Contractors’ National Association of Southern Nevada (SMACNA) is the duly authorized collective bargaining agent for all contractor members in the sheet metal contracting industry that are signatory to the Sheet Metal, Air, Rail and Transportation Local Sheet Metal Worker’s International Association Local Union 88 (SMART Local 88). SMACNA regards labor relations as one of its single-most influential benefits and services provided to contractor members. The association has forged a close working relationship with union leadership to protect the interests of working men and women, create a level-playing field in the sheet metal workers’ community and deliver the best-trained labor in the industry. It goes without saying that labor and management are bound to disagree, but resolving the conflict in a timely manner enables both parties to stay focused on the end-game, which is to create and sustain a healthy signatory market. If signatory contractors are not profitable in their endeavors, union members suffer.
