The Metal Trades Department (MTD) is a vital department of the AFL-CIO, representing seventeen national and international unions in the metalworking and related crafts and trade industries. Through coordinated negotiations, organizing efforts, and legislative advocacy, the MTD strives to enhance worker well-being, set safety standards, and amplify the voices of its members.
Operating in diverse sectors such as shipbuilding, nuclear facilities, and petrochemical plants, Metal Trades Councils ensure worker safety and security across North America. By joining a Metal Trades Council and local union, workers gain access to higher wages, improved benefits, safer work environments, and opportunities to actively participate in their union's activities.
