Organization
Local #10 is affiliated with the Sheet Metal Workers' International
Association. Local #10 serves 2600 trained Journeymen in Minnesota,
South Dakota, and North Dakota.
Nature of Trade
Sheet Metal workers fabricate and install ducts that are used in
heating, ventilation and air conditioning. They also fabricate and
install a wide variety of other products made from light or thin
galvanized metals such as siding, metal decks, paint ovens, and
spray booths, gutters, flashing, and dust collecting systems. The
trade also includes products made from heavy or thick metals which
are welded (stainless steel, aluminum, black iron) column guards,
conveyors, blow pipe systems, spouts, and many more items.
Most items are fabricated in the shop then taken to the job site
to be installed. Heating and air condition components are purchased
then fitted together with the air duct fabricated by members.
Formal Training
Sheet Metal workers participate in a four-year (8,000 Hours) apprenticeship
program. In addition to the training received on the job, apprentices
attend supplemental classroom training in subjects related to the
trade. A minimum of 220 hours of such training is required during
each year of apprenticeship.
