A special moment from the 41st UA General Convention!

Sister Sheila Embley addressed the delegation of more than 4,000 UA members this morning, sharing heartfelt words about her brothers and sisters in the UA and what serving as Chair of the Women’s Committee has meant to her.

We’re proud to have Sheila representing Local 26!

We had a great group representing UA Local 26 at the 2026 Instructor Training Program last week! 👏

We’re proud of our instructors for taking the time to sharpen their skills, share knowledge, and bring new ideas back home to help train the next generation of skilled tradespeople.

Thank you for your continued dedication to our apprentices, members, and the future of our trades!

Our thoughts are with our UA Local 44 Brothers & Sisters and their families in Spokane who have been affected by the recent fires. ❤️

Please consider donating to help support our union family during this difficult time. Every contribution makes a difference.

Take Action to Protect Energy Choice in Washington

The Washington State Building Code Council is once again considering measures that could further limit the use of natural gas in homes and buildings. At the same time, we're still awaiting the Washington Supreme Court's ruling on Initiative 2066, which could impact Washingtonians' ability to choose the energy source that works best for their families and businesses.

The Northwest Coalition for Energy Choice has created a quick Call to Action, and we encourage all UA Local 26 members to take a few minutes to make your voice heard.

Complete the Call to Action here: https://bit.ly/SBCCWashington

Take Action Today! Washington State Building Code Council is working on ways to restrict natural gas energy use in new construction. Despite the fact we are facing an historic energy shortage that could strain our grid, while at the same time housing prices are skyrocketing with no end in sight. Send a message today, urging them not to restrict natural gas energy during both a housing and energy crisis - https://bit.ly/SBCCWashington
