The hundred-year history of Sheet Metal Workers’ International Association, Local 28 Metropolitan New York and Long Island, is the story of a great urban area…a trade that is both craft and art…and a steadfast commitment to the dignity and welfare of working people and their families. Members of Local 28 help New Yorkers live, work and breathe in comfort. Sheet metal workers inhabit the only trade that designs, manufactures and installs its own products. They not only build; they create. Local 28 will continue its commitment to high-quality training and education, both at its apprentice center and through its support of scholarships for its members’ sons and daughters.’
