Solidarity
in the Building Trades

RAT IN THE HOUSE

After the United Brotherhood of Carpenters attempted to raid the work of other Building Trades unions in May 2007, the Columbia-Pacific Building Trades Council took action against the carpenters and their picket lines to send a strong message of unity while also creating “Building Trades Solidarity Day.”

This show of solidarity should be a blueprint for all other Building and Construction Trades Councils across the country to stop the predatory attacks of renegade crafts.
IUPAT Solidarity Lives!
Carpenters in Southern California try to disrupt drywall-finishers contract ratification so they can raid their work, but multiple other trades turn out to support the IUPAT.
The UBC Raiders
IUPAT members stand strong in District Council 81 (Iowa/Nebraska) and across the nation against underhanded attempts by the Carpenters to raid membership, putting to rest any doubt about IUPAT resolve.
The Unity Resolution
IUPAT and the Sheet Metal Workers International Association pass their “Unity Resolution” with other trades to respect each others’ jurisdictions – a strong response to the Carpenters’ attacks on the IUPAT and other unions.
   

UBC Raiders: West Virginia

The United Brotherhood of Carpenters recently made an attempt to raid the IUPAT drywall jurisdiction in West Virginia.  Once again, like in so many other parts of the U.S. and Canada, they were unsuccessful.

Failure is Not an Option

The Top Workplace Performance Plan:
Failure is Not an Option

The labor movement is going through one of the most challenging times in its storied history. The International Union of Painters and Allied Trades has undertaken a bold plan to ensure that we not only survive, but that we also grow. Your leadership is working every day to put forth policies and practices that provide the best future for you as a union member. However, all of our efforts depend upon what kind of worker you decide to be on the job site. This video explains exactly what “The Top Workplace Performance Plan” is, what it means and why it is so important.

Rebuilding New Orleans

After Hurricane Katrina struck New Orleans and the Gulf Coast on Aug. 29, 2005, devastating entire communities and cities, IUPAT members came from near and far to New Orleans and put their skills and tools to work to help IUPAT brothers and sisters whose lives were torn apart by the storm.

This is their story…
