Why Be a Union Contractor?
There is a new spirit of cooperation between labor and management in this region. PNC Park was built in just 24 months – architects, contractors, sub-contractors and 23 labor unions worked together to make it happen. Just 27 months for Heinz Field. On time and on budget are two things union workers understand.
When you hire ironworkers from Local Union No. 3, you’re getting journeymen and apprentices with a rigorous education under their belts. We provide continued training in important OSHA and safety regulations throughout the year. We also provide benefits administration at no cost to you, allowing contractors the flexibility of increasing your labor force 24/7. Local Union No. 3 takes each job seriously, so much so that our local drug testing program has been adopted by the International Union – it’s the model for every local throughout the United States and Canada. Companies who hire union ironworkers belong to the Ironworker Employers Association. Check them out at www.iwea.org. We know you’ll be impressed by the company we keep.
