Constructing a Better Future

The Union Advantage

It pays to join a union. When you join a labor union, you’re building a better future for yourself. Get the wages, benefits, and career opportunities you deserve. Become a member today.

Union Benefits

Higher Pay

Life is too short to get paid low wages. According to a report from the Bureau of Labor Statistics, union workers earn 18% more than non-union workers. As a union, it’s our responsibility to ensure we maintain liveable wages so that you can spend more time reaching goals and building a future for those who matter most.

Guaranteed Health Care

Nearly 30 million Americans don’t have health care. When you join a union, you’ll never be a part of that statistic. Give your loved ones peace of mind—our premium healthcare plans have you and your family covered, including medical, dental, and vision.

A Safer Workforce

Cutting corners for profit is commonly found among non-union job sites. At UA Local 469, your safety is our priority. We promote a safe work environment through our apprenticeship program and workplace safety culture so you can make it home to your loved ones.

Two Pensions
