Fuel Cell Technology Workers

Unions and Associations

Some fuel cell technology workers—mainly technicians and production employees—are represented by unions. Some major unions for manufacturing and trades workers include the United Automobile, Aerospace, and Agricultural Implement Workers of America and the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers.

The Fuel Cell & Hydrogen Energy Association is the leading fuel cell industry organization. Additionally, engineers and technicians can obtain professional support from organizations for specific professions, such as electrical or chemical engineering. The National Institute for Certification in Engineering Technologies offers certification to engineering technicians and the National Council of Examiners for Engineering and Surveying provides licensure to engineers. The U.S. Department of Energy conducts extensive research on fuel cell technology.
