The Western States Council is an organization made up of Sheet Metal Workers’ International Association Local Unions located in the States of California, Arizona, Nevada and Hawaii.

These local unions represent working men and women and strive to secure for them full recognition and enjoyment of the rights to which the are justly entitled as well as advocating for the fundamental freedoms which are the basis of our democratic society.

They combat resolutely, the forces, which seek to undermine the democratic institutions of our nation and enslave the human soul. They will always strive to win full respect for the dignity of the human individuals served by Council. At the collective bargaining table, in the community, in the exercise of the rights and responsibilities of citizen-ship, they responsibly serve the best interests of the American people.
