The St. Joesph Valley Building and Construction Trades Council is the alliance of 17 affiliated locals representing over 10,000 highly skilled craftsmen and women throughout Northern Indiana and Southern Michigan. Leading edge skill development through progressive apprenticeship programs, an ongoing commitment to positive Labor-Management partnerships and the concept of many voices speaking as one on the political issues that impact our members are the primary goals of the Building Trades.

Where trade unions are most firmly organized,

there are the rights of the people most respected.
