LOCAL 1236
INTERNATIONAL UNION OF PAINTERS AND ALLIED TRADES LOCAL 1236
Floor Covering Installers of Oregon and SW Washington are represented by International Union of Painters and Allied Trades (IUPAT) Local 1236. As an Apprentice in OR & SW WA, you will become a member of Local 1236.
As a group, Union Floor Coverers negotiate their wages and benefits directly with employers instead of simply accepting what employers are willing to give us for our time and labor. All Union members in good standing vote whether to accept or reject these negotiated terms, which means everyone has a voice.
What other job do you know of where you get to tell your boss what your time, your labor, AND your family’s time is worth?
IUPAT
INTERNATIONAL UNION OF PAINTERS & ALLIED TRADES
Represents a growing force of over 160,000 active and retired men and women in the United States and Canada. Our members work in the Finishing Trades as industrial and commercial painters, drywall finishers, wall coverers, glaziers, glass workers, floor covering installers, sign makers, display workers, convention and show decorators and in many more exciting occupations. IUPAT members’ skills are in high demand at every construction project in North America.
IUPAT membership extends far beyond the workplace, however. Recognized as one of the most active unions in the labor movement, IUPAT members help shape their communities in many ways: through an abiding commitment to service, by fighting passionately for workers’ rights that benefit all working families, and through effective and aggressive political mobilization.
