Millwright Local 740

What Millwright Local 740 does

Millwright Local 740 (legal name Millwright & Machinery Erectors Local Union 740) is a New York City-area labor union chartered in 1911 and affiliated with the United Brotherhood of Carpenters and Joiners of America (UBC). It represents skilled millwrights and machinery erectors who install, align, maintain, and repair precision industrial machinery — including turbines, generators, pumps, and process equipment — to tolerances as fine as a thousandth of an inch. The local serves signatory contractors and end users across heavy-industrial sectors including power generation (coal, gas, nuclear, and alternative energy), petrochemical, manufacturing, healthcare (including proton therapy facilities), aerospace, and food processing across the NYC metropolitan region.

The union's core offerings are membership services and a structured training pipeline anchored by a four-year apprenticeship program. Technical capabilities include AWS-qualified welding, UBC-certified rigging and heavy lifting, laser and optical alignment, vibration analysis, and safety training (OSHA 10/30). Members earn vendor-specific credentials through partnerships with OEMs such as Siemens Generation Service, GE APM, Exelon, and FlowServe, and access extended curricula through the Labor Technical College, the UBC International Training Center, and the NYC Carpenters Training Center. A UnionActive member portal and mobile app handle dues administration and dispatch.

The business model is a subscription-style recurring revenue stream built on quarterly member dues — $684 plus $26 in fees annually for regular members, with separate tiers for sick and retiree classifications — augmented by apprenticeship tuition and assessment income. The local is governed by an elected officer corps led by Business Agent Brian Lemaire, with John Sullivan as President, Mike Prescia as Vice President, and additional trustees and delegates representing members at the NYC District Council and NYC Building Trades Council.
