The Plumbers and Steamfitters Local 157 continues to monitor the COVID-19 virus. The health and safety of our apprentices and instructors at Plumbers and Steamfitters Local 157 is of the utmost importance. Therefore; until further notice, the apprentice classes at the Terre Haute, Lafayette, Danville and Hutsonville Training Centers will not be in session. This will be looked at on a weekly basis. Please monitor this website for updates.
