How do I Join?

We make it easy to join Local 488!

First, start with a phone call (780 452-7080), an email, or a visit to our Edmonton headquarters (16214 118 Avenue) or our Fort McMurray office (9703A Franklin Avenue T9H 2K1).

If you’re a registered apprentice, we’ll refer you to our Education Department, where you’ll complete some paperwork and be told about our dispatch system and the rules regarding apprentice ‘call-outs’.

If you’re a Journeyman, we’ll examine your trade credentials and photocopy your driver’s license and trade tickets. You’ll fill out some paperwork related both to membership and to our benefit and pension plans.
