About UA Local 290
UA Local 290 is a local union chartered by the United Association of Plumbers and Steamfitters, an international union with more than 350,000 members in the United States and Canada. UA Local 290 is a multi-craft union made up of more than 4,000 active and retired members specializing in the fabrication, installation and servicing of piping systems. From master plumbers to certified welders and specialized pipe fitting journeymen, our union is proud to have such a diverse group of piping professionals in our ranks. This website is dedicated to the men and women, both past and present, whose skills ensure the health and welfare of our nation.
The UA chartered Local 290 on July 22, 1985, when local unions throughout the State of Oregon were merged into a single entity. Eureka, California voluntarily merged with Local 290 in 1992. LU 290 has a very large jurisdiction stretching 2.5 miles south of Woodland, Washington down to Eureka, California, and as far east as Morrow, Wheeler, and Lake/Harney counties in Oregon.
The United Association has been training qualified pipe tradesmen longer than anyone else in the industry. This large international union celebrated its 125th anniversary in 2014. Our Local boasts one of the premier training programs in the nation. The UA Local 290 College of Mechanical Systems and Technology encompasses 10 training facilities with over 70 instructors, bringing in a vast range of knowledge and experience that is unmatched in the industry. Our curriculum includes five-year apprenticeship programs and extensive journeyman training, as well as organized instructor training and certification programs. Our signatory contractors offer apprentices valuable on-the-job experience. Under the careful guidance and instruction of journeymen, these apprentices will apply what they’ve learned in the classroom to the jobsite.
Our local union works on many different projects, large and small. For example, our members are at work at OHSU on the South Waterfront in Portland and the server farm in Central Oregon for Facebook. With a large jurisdiction stretching all the way to Northern California, our members provides skills on high profile projects in the Pacific Northwest, such as the decommissioning of the Humboldt Bay Power Plant.
