The history of the Plumbers Union in Pittsburgh dates back to the late 1870's, when it was affiliated with the Knights of Labor and later with the American Federation of Labor. Our contractors employ Local 27 members in many different construction applications. We work in the heavy industrial, commercial and residential sectors of the construction industry.
Our workforce takes pride in partnering with our signatory contractors in providing sophisticated piping systems to end user. From underground installation to final connections of fixtures and equipment, a plumber is required to have all the physical and mental skills needed to get the job done right the first time. No other organization serves the training needs of the piping industry like the United Association.
For over a century, the UA has been training the most highly-qualified workers in the United States and Canada. Over the past several decades, the United Association's training programs have produced a stable, skilled workforce responsible for building and maintaining piping systems in the various industrial and residential facilities that make up the North American landscape.

The Plumbers Union Local #27 dates back to 1870, when we joined the Knights of Labor and the American Federation of Labor.
Michael Joseph Counahan, Edward F. Welch & James J. Mckee were nominated and elected as our first officers.
During the early 1920's the "American Plan" took hold in The United States (similar to today's "Right to Work" Laws).
Business owners took hold of this opportunity, spreading lies that it was un-American to join a union or for businesses to sign labor agreements, in order to break up the labor movement.
