Local 98 History

In September of 1892 a small group of plumbers calling themselves “The Plumbers’ Association of Detroit” met in a small hall, Jahns’ Hall at 222 Randolph Street, in Detroit. This group of working men realized that if they were to be successful in improving their wages and working conditions, they must be united in their efforts.

The members of this fledgling organization had the wisdom and foresight to understand the concept of strength in numbers. On their third meeting, held on Thursday the 15th of September 1892, a motion was made to join “The United Plumbers’ Association”. A standing vote was taken and passed.

In December of 1893 The Plumbers’ Association of Detroit was notified by the United Association that their application for membership into the U.A. had been approved. At this meeting a motion was made, seconded and passed that this organization be organized into the U.A. as Plumbers’ Local Union #98.

The first official meeting of Plumbers’ Local Union #98 was held in January of 1894. Sixteen members were present out of a total membership of thirty-one. Currently Local #98 has over 2300 members.
