Union plumbers in the Philadelphia area date back to 1827 when they helped organize the mechanics union of trade organizations. There were many attempts over the years to form an International Union. This was the beginning of Plumber's Local Union 123. The initiation fee was $10.00 and the dues were.50 cents per meeting.
From 1900 to 1931 we evolved into Local 690. So for over 100 years, we've been protecting the health of our jurisdiction through our vigorous apprentice and journeyman training programs. Our signatory contractors employ the Local 690 members in many different construction applications. We work in the heavy industrial, commercial and residential sectors of the construction industry.
The common term for a group of workers looking to join a union is "Organizing." Workers organize for various reasons, be it to improve their working conditions, increase their pay or benefits, and/or to create a better working environment.
