New Look for Sheet Metal Workers’ Website

by Mike Hall, Jan 7, 2009

When you get a chance, cruise on over to the Sheet Metal Workers (SMWIA) revamped website. The just-launched site offers several new features—for visitors and SMWIA members—along with a clean and streamlined look.

The site’s new News section brings you a wide variety of worker-orientated labor and political news from the blog world and the mainstream press. The new Multimedia Resource Center gives you access to a wide range of SMWIA news, videos, podcasts and photos. Check out the video gallery here and photo gallery here.

New social networking features include SMWIA Facebook, the Sheet Metal Network and Sheet Metal Twittering.

The site’s Action Center provides information and the chance to join in the union’s and the labor movement’s latest campaigns, including the fight to win the Employee Free Choice Act.

For those of you not familiar with the SMWIA, the union represents 150,000 skilled craftspersons throughout the United States, Canada and Puerto Rico. Sheet metal workers perform architectural sheet metal work, fabrication, installation and service of heating, ventilating and air conditioning systems, shipbuilding, rail work and more. Find out more by visiting the new website’s career section here.

If you’re already working in one of the trades but don’t have a union, you can visit the SMWIA website to learn more about the Union Advantage, how It Pays to Be an SMWIA Member and the first step in Organizing Your Workplace and Joining the SMWIA.

There’s lots more information, so check it out!
