Nationally Ranked Training
Over 1,200 hours of classroom study, as well as up to 10,000 hours of on-the-job training makes Local 16 plumbers a nationally recognized apprenticeship program, ranked among the best in the nation by The Department of Labor.
Serving the Omaha Metro Area
With over 25 Signatory Contractors in our database, Local 16 is proud to bring quality plumbing to the entire Omaha, NE metro area for both Residential and Commercial services.
Highest Quality Services
More training means better service for both customers and contractors. Our extensive training means fewer mistakes, quicker service, better repairs and the ability to meet tighter deadlines.
The most important thing that I have now being an organized plumber versus a non-union plumber is that my local union hall makes sure that I always have a job waiting for me.

In a fast-evolving world, the need for skilled professionals in the trades is more vital than ever. Recognizing this, Plumbers Local 16 is thrilled to partner with Omaha Public Schools (OPS) in their Trades Camp Series, a groundbreaking initiative designed to introduce students to rewarding career opportunities in the trades industry. This partnership is more than just about filling job vacancies; it’s about shaping futures and strengthening our community. Through hands-on workshops, OPS students can explore a wide variety of trades, with Local 16’s skilled plumbers guiding them every step of the way. Our experts bring real-world experience and passion to the program, mentoring students in the tools, techniques, and skills needed for success in the industry. Each year, Local 16’s commitment to training future tradespeople has grown, with our union supporting OPS students through practical sessions, industry insights, and advice on navigating the path toward apprenticeships and beyond. By offering our members as mentors, students gain firsthand knowledge and build invaluable connections within the trades community. Our very own Arrick Jazynka had the chance to talk with both KETV7 and WOWT 6 News about the work Local 16 has been doing:
