What is the Ironworkers Union?
The International Association of Bridge, Structural, Ornamental and
Reinforcing Ironworkers Union, AFL-CIO, is a proud trade union whose
roots go back to the 1890’s. Members of this union have worked on
nearly every major construction project you can think of – The
Golden Gate Bridge, The Sears Tower, The World Trade Center and the
World Trade Center recovery effort, to name a few.
Some people confuse Ironworkers with Steelworkers. Ironworkers are
members of the Building and Construction Trades and Heavy and
Highway Department. Ironworkers work on outside projects erecting
buildings and bridges and other related work. Steelworkers work in
steel mills which produce the steel.
The union provides many benefits and support for its members. These
benefits include the advantage of working under a collective
bargaining agreement that brings bigger paychecks, better health and
retirement benefits, more secure jobs, and safe working conditions.
According to Labour Statistics, Ironworkers earn well above the
average income for construction trades. Of course, what you will
actually earn depends on the collective bargaining agreement of your
Local Union.
