Roofers Local 22

What Roofers Local 22 does

Roofers Local Union No. 22 (legally, United Union of Roofers, Waterproofers, and Allied Workers Local Union No. 22) is a chartered labor union headquartered in Rochester, New York, established in 1919. It represents approximately 249 active skilled members and 21 apprentices in the roofing and waterproofing trades, providing collective bargaining representation, a 3-year formal apprenticeship program, comprehensive benefits administration (medical, dental, vision, pension, and life insurance through Excellus Health Insurance Plan), and a curated directory of signatory contractors across New York and Massachusetts. The local is a chartered affiliate of the United Union of Roofers, Waterproofers, and Allied Workers, an international union headquartered in Washington, D.C., with 22,000 members across 9 regional district councils.

The organization's product portfolio is service-based rather than technology-based: union membership services, apprenticeship training, welfare and pension plan administration, a training center, and a contractor referral directory. There is no proprietary technology platform; the union operates a Wix-hosted website and maintains social media profiles for outreach. Revenue mechanics rely on recurring member dues modeled as a subscription stream, supplemented by benefit fund contributions and apprentice program-related fees. Specific dues amounts are not publicly disclosed.

The go-to-market is dual-sided and community-led: workers are recruited through community organizing, political education, and apprenticeship intake (applications accepted Mondays and Fridays with OSHA 10-hour prerequisites), while contractors are served through direct relationships governed by collective bargaining agreements. The union maintains regional operations focused on the Rochester area, with signatory contractors extending into Worcester (MA), Elmira (NY), and Utica (NY). Governance is provided by elected officers including a President/Executive Director (Gaetan Beauchamp), Business Manager (Adam Hoffman), Vice President, Recording Secretary, Executive Board members, and Union and Employer Trustees that oversee Health & Welfare, Pension, Supplemental, and JATC trust funds.
