JUST WHAT IS THE BOILERMAKERS UNION?

We’re an elite membership of skilled craftsmen and women and industrial workers,
trained and committed to stand apart as the best. We’re the choice for workers
who want an innovative, forward-thinking union that looks out for its members
today and tomorrow. And we’re the choice for owners, contractors and other
employers who want to get the job done right — on time, within budget and
safely. Every time.

FORWARD THINKING… TOGETHER

The International Brotherhood of Boilermakers grew out of the Industrial
Revolution and the demand for steam power. Organized in 1880, we are one of the
oldest unions in the United States. We are headquartered in Kansas City, Kansas
(since 1893) and service more than 200 local lodges across North America.

Our union represents workers throughout the United States and Canada. Our
members are employed in heavy industry, shipbuilding, manufacturing, railroads,
cement, mining, and related industries. We construct and repair electric power
plants, refineries, pulp and paper mills, and steel mills. We build naval ships
and commercial tankers, repair locomotives, make cement, and mine coal, gypsum,
and talc. We forge tools for industry and make consumer goods.

Our highly-skilled members have built nuclear, gas-fired, and advanced
coal-fired power plants, as well as military ships, including various classes of
submarines. Boilermakers helped construct the U.S.S. New York amphibious
transport dock (launched in late 2009), which includes steel from the Twin
Towers. We also helped build the world’s first nuclear submarine, the U.S.S.
Nautilus. Boilermakers from Pennsylvania crafted the structural sections of the
Gateway Arch in St. Louis (which includes 900 tons of stainless steel—more than
any other project in the world at the time it was built). And it was our members
who manufactured the aluminum-based fuel for the Space Shuttle’s solid rocket
boosters.

The Boilermakers have played a key role in history. We built machinery to
construct the Panama Canal and thousands of ships to help win two world wars.

We are a progressive, forward-thinking union that has established national funds
for pensions, health and welfare, and an annuity trust. We boast one of the best
apprentice programs in America and partner in an award-winning alliance with
construction industry contractors and owners that has resulted in numerous
union/management innovations for improved safety, manpower availability,
training, and cost savings.

The Boilermakers union has long been politically active, with a permanent
presence in Washington, D.C. We aggressively promote and defend the rights of
our members and indeed those of all workers.

We are guided by the Boilermaker Code and Creed. They connect us to the men and
women who came before us and built the union, and they point us to the
professional conduct and high-level performance that bring value to our
employers and secure our future and that of generations of Boilermakers to come.
