In 1937, twelve plumbers came together to submit Application for Charter to the United Association. And so, on May 15 of the same year, Plumbers and Pipefitters Local #145 came into existence. On May 18, 1984, Leadership for UA Local 145 and the Signatory Contractors created the Western Slope Joint Apprenticeship & Journeyman Training Committee “to provide and effectuate training for apprentices and for the continuing education and training of Journeymen.” Today, Local 145 boasts over 350 members, 60+ apprentices and a very diversified membership.
