SMART Local 3 Our Mission at Local 3 is to represent all sheet metal workers within the jurisdiction of this Local

The Sheet Metal Union of Omaha, Nebraska was started by a number of dedicated tradesmen in the late 1880’s. Omaha, together with six other mid-western metal labor groups, met on January 25, 1888 in Toledo, Ohio to form the “Tin Sheet-Iron and Cornice Workers International Union.”
Omaha became Local #3 and Leo Hart from Omaha became General Vice President. In 1897, the name was changed to “Amalgamated Sheet Metal Workers International Association”, and in 1903 to “Amalgamated Sheet Metal Workers International Alliance”, and finally in 1924 to “Sheet Metal Workers’ International Association.”

For Local 3, this work is personal.

We want people to know what a career in the skilled trades can offer—not just in pay and benefits, but in the way it can impact individuals, families, and communities.

Come have a conversation with us. Ask the questions. Learn about the opportunities. See what a career in the trade could mean for you and your family.

We take that opportunity seriously, because changing lives starts with opening the door.

Every skilled tradesperson starts somewhere, and sometimes, it starts with your first set of tools. 🛠️

An apprenticeship is about building your skills from the ground up. You learn the tools, techniques, and knowledge of the trade while gaining hands-on experience along the way.

Your first toolbox is just the beginning. What you learn to do with those tools can become a career that lasts.

Labor is hands-on.

It’s the skill, precision, and effort that goes into every cut, bend, grind, and finished piece. The work doesn’t happen by itself, it takes trained people who know how to turn raw materials into something built to last.

SMART Local 3 members put that skill to work every day, in the shop and on the jobsite.

Skilled labor makes the work happen.

A trade with a history worth remembering.

For generations, sheet metal workers have built their careers on skill, craftsmanship, and knowledge passed from one generation to the next.

At SMART Local 3, that history is part of who we are, and it’s a reminder of the people who helped shape the trade we continue today.

The tools may change. The commitment to the trade remains.

Honor the history. Carry it forward.

The best part of the trade isn’t always the work; it’s the people you share it with.

SMART Local 3 is built on the relationships formed along the way: the coworkers who become friends, the people who have your back, and the memories made both on and off the job.

The work may bring us together, but the brotherhood keeps us connected.

Skilled work doesn’t always happen at ground level.

SMART Local 3 members bring precision, training, and experience to every jobsite, working on the systems and structures that keep projects moving and communities running.

From the shop to the field, skilled sheet metal workers are putting their training to work every day.

Representation matters.

For SMART Local 3 members, they don’t have to navigate workplace issues alone. From business representatives and organizers to the training coordinator, Local 3 has people in the hall who are there to support, advocate for, and represent its members.

It’s about knowing you have people in your corner when you need them.

That’s part of what being a union member means.

The classroom is where the foundation is built.

A SMART Local 3 apprenticeship combines classroom learning with hands-on training, giving apprentices the knowledge and skills they need to succeed in the sheet metal trade. Every lesson, measurement, and new skill is another step toward becoming a skilled tradesperson.

Learn it. Practice it. Put it to work.

The work brings us together, but the relationships we build along the way make it a brotherhood.

SMART Local 3 is more than a trade. It’s the people you work alongside, the friendships you build, and the memories you make both on and off the job.

Different backgrounds. Different paths. One Local 3 brotherhood.

When you think of sheet metal work, you might picture ductwork, but the trade goes far beyond that.

Local 3 members use fabrication, welding, precision measuring, and specialized equipment to create components for a wide range of environments and industries.

Different projects. Different skills. One versatile trade.
