Beginning on January 1, 2026, and every three years thereafter, a one-cent ($0.01) per hour increase to the SMACNA standard contribution rate for U.S and Canadian members will go into effect.
This change, adopted in 2023, has been communicated to Chapter Executives through multiple channels, including an email sent on March 14, 2023, collective bargaining orientation, Council of Chapter Representatives meetings, and various other SMACNA events and publications.
