Steamfitters Local 601
Few people know what a steamfitter is or what they do. From HVAC-Refrigeration to installation of process piping systems and more, they help build the infrastructure of our cities and communities.
Steamfitters Local 601 is a trade union, and trade unions often suffer from image perception issues.
