The UA Local 393 website is dedicated to the men and women of Local 393, both past and present, who have given the very best of themselves and, in turn, have provided our community with over 100 years of excellence. From certified welders - to master plumbers - to specialized pipe fitting journeymembers, UA Local 393 craftsmen have long led the way. From the days when Santa Clara Valley was best known for its agricultural produce through today where we have mastered the piping systems that have allowed the birth and continued growth of "Silicon Valley."
Local 393's heritage of excellence is the product of our commitment towards achievement. We have long invested into our Apprenticeship instruction and have further enhanced our demand for excellence via our Journey-level training. In 1961, Local 393 opened the Pipe Trades Training Center. The original training center had but one classroom and a welding shop. Today, the Pipe Trades Training Center is one housed in a state-of-the-art, 100,000-square-foot facility located at 780 Commercial Street in San Jose.
