Our Local Union has a history of being aggressive in organizing on behalf of its' members

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.

The Director of Apprenticeship has for many years appointed Local 47 full time Officers to sit on the Provincial Advisory Council for the trade of sheet metal as well as the trade of roofing. Our participation and expertise has played a significant role in apprenticeship training in Ontario.
