Union Connections for Jobs
Many of Vigor’s companies take referrals from local unions. If you are a skilled trades person, and already a member of a union, we recommend you check this list to see if we are aligned with your respective union. If you are interested in joining a union, please review and contact the union that is most closely related to your trade expertise, and call the representative to learn more about membership.
Vigor owns several businesses, some are union and some are non-union. This page only references the union companies and their respective cities.
It is common that some union affiliated jobs are not posted on our website; union members may have the ability to apply online through a special link provided by those specific unions.
