im getting into the Steamfitters union Local 601. www.steam601.com
In this area only one HVAC union. Each union has it's own area. It's kind of hard to explain.....but each state local has designated county's that are consided their "home" area I guess you could say. Like madison's HVAc is a different local # than milwaukees.
Local 18 serves Milwaukee and it's surrounding county's. Anything else is considered travel and you get extra bennifits or pay from working in a non-home county.

nope....you have to take the test again. I tried that. And you cant say theres only ONE HVAC union because theres so many different things to do with HVAC. Im going into the 601 which is steamfitters which is still HVAC.
Fine...HVAC sheetmetal/Service.
Fitters also do other things which have nothing to do with HVAC. My father-in law run's underground gas pipe for new buildings and neighborhoods. Not HVAC but still 601.
