District Council 97

The International Union of Painters and Allied Trades District Council 97 would like to welcome you. To find out more about District Council 97, we would like to offer you the following quote from the homepage of the International Union of Painters and Allied Trades.

"...The International Union of Painters and Allied Trades (IUPAT) represents a growing force of over 140,000 working men and women in the United States and Canada. Our members work in the finishing trades as painters, drywall finishers, wallcoverers, glaziers, glass workers, floor covering installers, sign makers, display workers, convention and show decorators, and in many more exciting occupations. IUPAT members' skills are in high demand at every construction project in North America.

The IUPAT membership extends beyond far beyond the workplace, however. Recognized as one of the most active unions in the labor movement, IUPAT members help shape their communities in many ways: through an abiding commitment to service, by fighting passionately for workers' rights that benefit all working families, and through effective and aggressive political mobilization.

As one of the most active unions in the labor movement today, the IUPAT has a deep and ongoing commitment to recruiting new members while mobilizing our current ranks. A large, diverse and active membership is crucial to the goals of the IUPAT: secure a safe workplace, ensure fair wages and benefits for all workers and cultivate institutional and political support for pro-working family policies.

We also provide state of the art training and continuing education to our membership to make us one of the most skilled, knowledgeable and safety conscious workforces in the finishing industries.

With these goals in mind, the IUPAT has developed innovative and exciting organizing strategies to ensure that our union will continue to be a force to be reckoned with..."
