IUPAT D.C.3

IUPAT District Council Proudly Representing Glaziers, Painters, Floorlayers, Drywall/Drywall Finishers, Sign & Display Workers & More of Western MO and Kansas

[IUPAT @GoIUPAT]

The story of the ongoing Gemtron strike in Indiana embodies the dark period of American deindustrialization where workers get screwed and towns get left behind.

We’re on a ULP strike to rewrite a new chapter for American manufacturing, where promises like pensions are kept.

[IUPAT @GoIUPAT]

It is each and every one of us that shapes and moves our union forward every single day.

Please join us in welcoming our two newest members in Kansas City, @IUPATDC3 LU 558 glaziers Brook Sortore and Luke LaCombe!

Organizing has the power to take working people from misery to stability and security.

[IUPAT @GoIUPAT]

Through organized labor, anything is possible.

Nearly a million unionized workers got double digit raises they rightfully deserved in 2023!

[IUPAT @GoIUPAT]

This Black History Month, we honor the Black tradesmen and tradeswomen who have broken down barriers both in our union and our trades. We are fully committed to breaking down all barriers and to ending the every day injustices and discrimination Black Americans face.

[IUPAT @GoIUPAT]

During this historic moment for the labor movement, our union is rising to the occasion.

This year, thousands of new members proudly joined our union!

Come join our fight too and build the future with us! https://t.co/M42SmEdwrC

[IUPAT @GoIUPAT]

We are very proud to highlight our union's membership growth this year. Our union added nearly 3,000 new members in 2023!

When we stand together, each and every one of us as The IUPAT, there is nothing our union cannot accomplish.

[IUPAT @GoIUPAT]

We won!

@GOIUPATDC77 helped 32 painters who were misclassified as independent contractors receive over $87,000 in back wages.

Our union fights every day to protect workers and root out exploitation in our industry.

The Associated Builders and Contractors exists to oppose virtually everything that benefits construction workers.

We cannot and will not ever let the ABC succeed.

Being a Union Member Gives You: A Voice. Collective Power. Strength to Transform Lives, Including Yours!

[IUPAT @GoIUPAT]

Our District Council @DC9_IUPAT recently held their first-ever pre-apprenticeship collaboration program w/ @ToolsNTiaras, a network for young girls & women to have successful careers in the skilled trades.

Together, there is nothing we cannot accomplish for women in the trades!

You deserve more.

Form or join a union and organize to win more!

When DC 46 Local 200's campaign for low-rise and high-rise residential painters began, there were 0 painting companies that were union in Ottawa.

Today, after just 6 months of organizing, there are now 26 certified painting companies with our union in Ottawa.

[IUPAT @GoIUPAT]

Wage theft by employers is rampant in our country, especially in construction.

Our union is fighting back to put an end to these illegal practices plaguing our industry nationwide and to make sure construction workers are paid every dollar they earned. https://t.co/fiJ7M9PVtk

[IUPAT @GoIUPAT]

Our union is so proud of our efforts, embodied by our Women's Leadership Series, to intentionally train IUPAT women for leadership positions of all types from our locals to councils to international.

For women in the IUPAT, anything is possible.

[IUPAT @GoIUPAT]

Our union is organizing every day under the most difficult of circumstances in the South to raise standards and transform the construction industry so it finally works for working people.

Please take 1 minute to hear what it's like to be at the forefront of organizing the South.
