Local 777

What Local 777 does

UA Local 777 is a chartered labor union local of the United Association (UA) of Journeymen and Apprentices of the Plumbing and Pipe Fitting Industry, representing approximately 2,800-3,000 plumbers, pipefitters, and HVAC-R service technicians across the entire State of Connecticut. The organization was chartered in 1994 through the merger of twenty-one former Connecticut Locals and operates under a structured leadership team headed by Business Manager/Financial Secretary-Treasurer Anthony Camillucci, with zone-based Business Agents covering Fairfield, Litchfield, New Haven/Middlesex, Hartford/Tolland, and New London/Windham counties plus a dedicated General Dynamics Marine Trade Division.

Local 777 delivers four core service lines: (1) collective bargaining and labor representation, securing wages, benefits, and working conditions across ~76 signatory contractors including Honeywell, Johnson Controls, Siemens, Trane, Daikin Applied, McKenney Mechanical, and General Dynamics Electric Boat; (2) apprenticeship and journeyperson training via the Joint Apprenticeship and Training Committee (JATC) at the 450 Murdock Avenue Training Center in Meriden, offering OSHA, welding, medical gas, REVIT, HVAC-R, and orbital welding certifications; (3) health and welfare benefits administration through Anthem Services and an integrated benefits office (ecommerce.issisystems.com); and (4) workforce development partnerships including Helmets to Hardhats (military transition) and UA VIP.

Revenue is generated primarily through monthly member dues on a recurring subscription basis, with non-dues income from JATC training (contractor-funded), investment income on benefit trusts, and organizing activities. Distribution occurs through direct member relationships, the signatory contractor network, and partnerships with UA, Helmets to Hardhats, and UA VIP. The technology stack is deliberately non-technical — a content website (local777.com), members-only portal, online dues payment via Chase Paymentech, and basic social media — reflecting the union's role as a labor-representation institution rather than a technology product company.
