District Council #5 takes the responsibility of organizing seriously. We
are here, just a telephone call away if as an employee you believe that
you deserve fair treatment in the workplace or 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.  It allows for work opportunities with a large pool of contractors.  It means being a part of group that’s core value is democracy, in the Union and in the workplace.  It enables a higher standard of living for you and your family.

To the contractor, being organized means having access.  Access to a skilled and stable local labor pool.  Access to 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 either 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 offices, 1-800-443-9303, and they will put you in contact with the DC #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?
