Overview
Mission
Improve working conditions in the pipefitting industry and protect members from unjust and injurious conditions and to assist members in securing and stabilizing employment.
What it reported doing in 2024
Maintain relationships with the national union (the united assocation of journeymen and apprentices of the plumbing and pipefitting industry of the united states and canada) and other state and local labor organizations.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Earned-program. 100% of the money available for current operations came from fees and other program revenue.
- Distribution model
- Direct operator. The filing allocates 88% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.
The verdict
MIXED - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. A relatively small share of voting board members are independent and few specific pay-setting methods are documented in the filing; unanswered boxes are not proof of absence.
