The IBB and UWUA have much in common. We’re both diverse organizations that play a vital role in building and maintaining our society’s infrastructure. We both believe that safety is the number-one priority on any job. We both want the best training, health and welfare programs and pension programs for our members.
We also face many of the same challenges. It only makes sense to take advantage of one another’s strengths, experience and knowledge.
