Q&A: Joe Demark on how union labor can play key role in data center boom

 

In this Q&A, our president Joe DeMark explains how union labor can help meet the growing demand for data centers.

This conversation reveals how a skilled, unionized workforce can power the next wave of data‑center expansion, from hands-on collaboration with contractors to innovative labor- management partnerships.

“We continue education after our four-year apprenticeship. We offer a curriculum for colleges to earn credit, and it’s a great program.

You actually earn while you learn. So become a sheet metal worker.

Being part of a building trades union is fantastic.”
