Since 1970, UWUA Local 483 has served as the collective bargaining representative for the workforce that is responsible for transportation and storage of gas and all molecules that pass through SoCalGas’ pipelines. We are also responsible for the safety, operation, preventative maintenance, and repair of all SoCalGas storage infrastructure, gas transmission lines, and certain distribution high-pressure supply lines.
UWUA, Local 483’s 3,385 miles of jurisdiction spreads across broader Southern California, from the Nevada border to the Arizona border to the Mexican border and as far north as Fresno County.
