Steamfitters & Plumbers Local Union 464

What Steamfitters & Plumbers Local Union 464 does

Steamfitters & Plumbers Local Union 464 is a chartered labor union representing skilled mechanical trades workers, including steamfitters, plumbers, pipefitters, HVACR technicians, and welders, across Nebraska and 12 counties in western Iowa. Founded on April 3, 1915 under the United Association of Plumbers and Pipefitters, the union is headquartered at 3375 Oak View Drive in Omaha, Nebraska, and serves over 1,485 members (working and retired). Its primary functional offerings are collective bargaining for wages, benefits, and working conditions, alongside structured training programs including an annual apprenticeship program (intake during the first two weeks of March) and journeyman continuing education delivered across Omaha, Lincoln, and Western Nebraska, with online and Iowa CEU courses also available. Member benefits include access to a Sav-RX mail-order pharmacy customer portal launched in March 2022. The underlying technology is fundamentally service-based — labor representation, workforce credentialing, and benefits administration — with no proprietary software platform or technology product beyond a standard member login portal.

The business model is a nonprofit membership organization funded through recurring member dues. Membership recruitment is community-led, driven by apprenticeship pipelines and member referrals, with go-to-market centered on direct member services at the union hall and contractor partnerships that facilitate job placement. Pricing (dues amounts) is not publicly disclosed. Operating geographies are limited to the chartered jurisdiction of Nebraska and 12 Iowa counties, with no global footprint. The union does not have subsidiaries, funding rounds, M&A activity, or publicly disclosed financial statements, consistent with its nonprofit, member-governed structure under elected officers.
