In March 2026, Local 441 reported on a big contract win at Ingalls shipyard in Mississippi, a “right-to-work” state. One key to that victory? A recently retired steward turned organizer, who came out of retirement to help the local rebuild its strength.

In SMART, we organize to win the work that members rely on. That was proven in Chicago: Through strong teamwork from rank-and-file members and local staff, Local 73 successfully reclaimed multiple rooftop unit replacement projects for a UNION contractor: https://t.co/qcRSflkP1a

SMACNA CEO Frank Wall recently wrote an op-ed for the Washington Examiner. In his piece, Wall discussed the role of HVAC specialty construction industry associations and their engineering allies in boosting data center energy and water efficiency. @dcexaminer https://t.co/hNSiu7582H

SMACNA and SMART were privileged to attend iTi’s first-ever Bias and Belonging Conference, held just outside Washington, DC. During this day-and-a-half session, trainers from across the country learned strategies for providing the workforce with the tools and knowledge needed to build a workplace free of harassment and discrimination, where the best and the brightest in our industry can be put in a position to succeed. @smartunionworks

Every railroader deserves the right to perform their duties without being forced to choose between following orders and safety. That was put to the test in North Little Rock, Arkansas, where SMART-TD Local 221 demonstrated what true leadership looks like: https://t.co/6qhD6ygTSE

BE4ALL’s 2026 re‑release of the Juneteenth poster offers our members across the industry the opportunity to deepen their understanding of this pivotal moment in American history. Juneteenth is the annual commemoration of June 19, 1865, when the last enslaved people in the United States learned of their freedom, marking the true fulfillment of the Emancipation Proclamation. As part of BE4ALL’s annual cultural calendar—created to help our evolving workforce learn about the many cultures and faiths that shape our industry—the printable Juneteenth poster serves as both an educational resource and a commemorative tool. By sharing this poster, organizations can highlight the significance of Juneteenth, honor the resilience and contributions of Black Americans, and foster meaningful conversations that strengthen workplace relationships. Happy Juneteenth! @smartunionworks

“If we can make them understand that working with your hands is a good thing, and the fact that they want to apply that and make a decent living to have an impact on a young mind and create that skill set, there’s nothing better than that.”

From June 7-10, affiliated unions of the AFL-CIO, including SMART, came together for the federation’s convention in Minneapolis. Led by General President Coleman, SMART delegates attended to represent the voice of sheet metal and transportation workers: https://t.co/I2cOc68XGm

This week in Minnesota, our movement got stronger. Union membership is at its highest level in 16 years. And we're setting our sights even higher: organizing 2 million more workers over the next five years. Let's get to work.

[AFL-CIO ✊ @AFLCIO]

America’s unions have never been more united, and we’re ready to fight for a future that works for ALL working people.

Let’s go get it done!

“This is the moment, right now, that will define our future.”
