About Local 263

SMART Local 263

Forged in Steel. Driven by Skill.

Local 263 is affiliated with SMART, the International Association of Sheet Metal, Air, Rail and Transportation Workers. The International Union serves 216,000 members; Local 263 serves almost 600 trained journeypersons in eastern and central Iowa.

We are the skilled hands and sharp minds behind the sheet metal trade in Central and Eastern Iowa. At SMART Local 263, we’ve been building, installing, and maintaining the systems that keep our communities running for generations — from intricate HVAC systems and custom metal fabrication to architectural work that defines the look of our cities.

We train here, we live here, and we take pride in knowing our work impacts everything from the comfort of a family’s home to the air quality in a school or hospital.

Strength comes from standing together. We negotiate fair wages, protect safe working conditions, and make sure every member’s voice is heard — on the job and in the community.
