District Council #5 takes the responsibility of organizing seriously.  We are just a telephone call away, if you believe that, as an employee, you deserve fair treatment in the workplace or if, as an employer, you are tired of having to train new employees.

As a worker, being organized means having dignity, respect, and a voice in your working life.  It means higher wages, training, medical insurance, and retirement benefits, enabling a higher standard of living for you and your family.  It allows for work opportunities with a large pool of contractors and it means being a part of group that’s core value is democracy, in the Union and in the workplace.

To the contractor, being organized means having access; access to a skilled and stable local labor pool, along with apprenticeship and training programs; access to fixed long term cost with minimal management involvement; access to medical, pension and other benefits that allow retention of these experienced workers; access to the advantages that some of the largest contractors in the nation have already realized.

If you are interested in joining our Union, organizing the shop where you currently work, or are an employer that wants something better, you simply need to place a toll free call to our office at 1-800-443-9303 and ask to talk to with the District Council #5 Organizing Department.

Regardless what trade you are engaged in, taking the time to place that call could change your life.

What are you waiting for?
