They just do commercial……

If you look on a clear day from a high spot on the Massachusetts – New Hampshire border or from the west on a hill in Worcester County or from a high spot near Foxboro you can see the great Boston skyline.

From many a plumbers perspective that are not members, thats where most of the members of Plumbers Local 12 work. Building or servicing large commercial projects. We know thats not true. But there is something really great happening in the Local. A place for residential plumbers.

What I mean by residential plumbers is the men and woman that are out in the suburbs everyday building those local skylines, thinking that Local 12 has nothing for them. As the building boom continues through out the Greater Boston area plumbers and apprentices need to know there is a place here for you.

Yes, if you are contractor you can access the same types of benefits that you may have thought were unattainable for your loyal workers. For the plumbers and apprentices there is the access to the benefits and free training that the Local has always provided. The one thing that we all have in common is that plumbing is our Career. Lets make the most of it together.

We have created a new division that makes this affordable. For Real. Its all about cost and we know that what we have done is in line with whats going on in all parts of eastern Massachusetts.

I can’t tell you how excited I am about this opportunity and I want to encourage any sole proprietor, small shop, developer or any one interested to call the office and get the correct information.

Our business development representatives will be all over eastern Massachusetts visiting job sites this spring and summer spreading the word so we look forward to talking with you.

Remember, plumbing is our career, making the best of it includes being able to provide health insurance for our families and retirement benefits for ourselves. We look forward to talking to you.

Where is the shortage of new plumbers?

As I write this blog applications to Plumbers Local 12’s apprenticeship program have just concluded. This year we have over four hundred applicants vying for approximately thirty positions. This flies in the face of what I hear is a shortage of people people entering the plumbing business in Massachusetts.

Maybe there is a difference between a job in plumbing and a career in plumbing. Local 12 has always given all applicants an interview and one thing we hear from them is that people are looking for a career. A place where they will be able to get health insurance and accrue retirement benefits during and after their career is done.

Maybe its the training that Local 12 provides apprentices as well as journeymen throughout their careers that provide them them many opportunities to work for the different contractors while maintaining the highest pay and best benefits in the industry.

Local 12 is a proud membership organization that wants its members to succeed all during their careers as plumbers. With at least sixty percent of Americans with almost no savings (according to an article in Boston Agent Magazine by Tom Ricci) these applicants have figured out that union benefits are a good thing and applying to the union training program is the way to go. No wonder over four hundred people have applied.

Plumbers Local 12 is about careers not jobs.

 

 

 

SERVICE,SERVICE,SERVICE

One of the most exciting things happening at Plumbers and Gasfitters Local 12 these days is the Service Division. We have partnered with our parent organization the United Association to become the Eighth city in the country to implement the Plumbers911.com program.

Local 12 is celebrating our 125th anniversary this year and in those years we have helped build and service the plumbing in the greater Boston area. What is new now is that because we are organized we have partnered with our contractors to bring our expert customer service and skills together under the PLUMBERS911Boston.com group.

Plumbers911boston.com is a group of contractors that will answer all calls that come through the website and our service area is basically anywhere in eastern Massachusetts. Our plumbers/mechanics and apprentices bring years of training and experience that provide value to residential and commercial customers alike.

All Plumbers911boston.com mechanics are drug tested, background checked, and are extremely proud to wear the Plumbers911 logo. A special point of interest is that I mentioned residential service. Many think that our organization only builds commercial projects. Not True. The members of our organization have always done residential service.

Our members train in our Boston state of the art training facility. Not just subject specific but periodic in service training as well. This is where the customer realizes the value in using a plumbers911boston.com contractor. There is almost nothing our Plumbers can’t do. Along with our service area is also the 24/7 response. Our exceptional group of contractors are committed to making sure that when you go to http://www.plumbers911boston.com you will get the best service provided by the most trained and experienced mechanics in the area.

If you have a plumbing issue there is only one place to go http://www.plumbers911boston.com
