Mike Hartley

  Steamfitter Business Representative

The role of the Business Representative is to serve the membership of Local 230 while attending to the daily operations and interactions of the local under the supervision of the Business Manager.  The Business Representative needs to remain current on all the changes in the piping industry, all new technologies as they become available, and understanding the newest methodologies of training.  I exceed these expectations by attending many seminars and passing that new information to the Journeymen and Apprentices of our Local. 

I also provide leadership as a Trustee to the Apprentice and Journeyman Training Trust.  I serve as a Labor Committee Member on the San Diego and Imperial Counties Pipe Trades Joint Apprenticeship Committee.  I am a seated Delegate to the San Diego County Building and Construction Trades Council and to the Imperial Valley.  I sit on many community colleges’ welding advisory committees as well. 

My goal is to provide signatory contractors with the best men and women in the piping industry.  I accomplish this goal by understanding that excellent training is the core of the United Association.  If you can see yourself as a UA Journeyman or just want more information about the apprenticeship program, please call.

If you are interested in becoming a union contractor, see what the UA has to offer.  We produce well-trained, hard-working Journeymen and Apprentices that you can count on.  We can meet your manpower needs whether its one worker or one hundred.  Our men and women are dedicated to the trade and take pride in their work.  The UA can meet your needs in all aspects of the trade: auto-cad, all applications of welding including orbital welding, ploy fusion, brazing, medical gas, controls, and plumbing just to name a few.  To learn more, please do not hesitate to call.
