Welcome to The Metal Trades Branch


The Steamfitters’ Industry Trust Funds, organized under the Taft Hartley Act of 1947, are the employee benefit programs providing pension and welfare benefits to the thousands of active and retired members of Steamfitters’ Local 638, their dependents and beneficiaries. These programs include both the Construction and Metal Trades Branches of Local 638.

The purpose of this site is to provide plan information regarding these funds, including summary plan descriptions, benefit forms, current fund news and other documents which may be useful to plan participants.
