Sheet Metal Workers are highly skilled trade workers that performed a variety of jobs ranging from the installation of HVAC systems, to performing roofing, siding, gutter and even plumbing work. They worked directly with products that were manufactured with asbestos including insulation, sheet metal, piping, and heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) units. In addition, Sheet Metal Workers also worked with ductwork, electrical wiring and sheetrock that were asbestos containing. The various work environments that Sheet Metal Workers may have worked in include foundries, project sites, shipyards and demolition. Sadly, like other union members, the development of asbestos-related diseases in sheet metal workers is common.
Many of these trade workers also joined a union. In fact the Sheet Metal Workers International Association currently has over 150,000 members. We have compiled a list of sheet metal workers unions below.
