Mass deportations don’t protect working people—they weaken labor standards, silence organizing and empower bad employers.
An attack on immigrant workers is an attack on ALL workers. @Jimmy_iupat
Offshore wind remains a necessary & vital industry to produce domestic energy in Rhode Island & beyond. @GoIUPAT industrial painters are working on these projects & the potential for careers in this industry are immense. Hands off offshore wind! Let us work!
Our unity is our strength. We are PROUD to represent multiple trades — it means that we’re never on our own.
We’re not just glaziers or painters or tapers or floor coverers. We’re the finishing trades, and we stand together.
That’s a wrap on #TWBN2025! We had an amazing time in Chicago – what a weekend for sisterhood, empowerment, and inspiration! Can’t wait for next year in Houston, bigger and better than ever!
This country’s largest “Union Meeting” and it still gives me chills every year!! From young to old, black or white, we unite as One Union, One Family, One Fight

ABC’s decision to suspend Jimmy Kimmel Live! is an alarming case of powerful corporations helping the Trump admin suppress the freedom of speech among America's working people.
America’s unions stand with the workers whose jobs are on the line from this chilling censorship.
I had a great meeting last week with @GoIUPAT president Jimmy Williams.
As Co-Chair of the @LaborCaucus Building Trades Task Force, I am fighting for better conditions, training, and funding for American workers – because that is how we build America and the middle class.
Congratulations to Doug Claypool on his retirement! Doug has spent his career training, mentoring, and leading organizers and service reps across the IUPAT, leaving behind a lasting legacy that will continue to shape our union for years to come.
His impact is felt in every one of us who had the privilege to learn from him. Thank you, brother, and enjoy retirement!
For decades, our union would dress up and march at Labor Day parades together to signify our mutual pride, honor and shared understanding that our trades build the world, not the bosses.
Here's our painters & paperhangers marching in the 1900 Labor Day parade in Buffalo, NY.
