Mission: The association is a labor union that represents primarily production workers in wisconsin. The association is an arm of the international association of sheet metal, air, rail, and transportation workers, a union that was founded in 1888 and represents building trades workers, service industry workers, and railroad workers in the united states, canada, and puerto rico.
Programs: The association represents 2,420 members from ten signatory employers in wisconsin. The association's members manufacture ceiling air vents, registers, grilles, refrigerators, freezers, wine cabinets, ranges, loudspeaker cones, electronic signs and scoreboards, milk tank coolers, dehumidifiers, and steel storage units. A few of the many jobs the members perform are welding, machine operation, maintenance, tool and die, assembly, material handling, stockmen, and fork truck driving. Some members are classified as highly skilled and some are not, but they all perform an important function for their companies.
