Welcome to the Iron Workers Local Union No. 3 Web Site

As one of the world's first Iron Worker Locals, we are proud of our heritage. For more than 100 years, we've been building the skyscrapers, bridges and stadiums of our region.

To learn more about us, you can simply view the structures we have proudly built throughout western Pennsylvania - including the Pittsburgh and Erie areas. If you're up to the task, you can join us! We're always looking for new ironworkers to join our apprenticeship program. We also continue to seek partnerships with contractors who want to complete projects on time and on budget. Combine these items - a trained workforce and partnerships that allow us to ply our trade safely - with our experience, and you have 1,300 skilled tradesmen.

Our heritage is based on a safe, well-trained workforce. Today, we provide hours of ongoing training seminars and classes that benefit our members, help maintain the highest skill levels and support the pride and dedication our members take in their work.
