We have many members who tried college before they entered the trades, and the first thing virtually all of them say is that they wish they found the IUPAT sooner. It's never too late to start your career with us: www.iupatdc57.org/join

While college is a great option for many, it’s no longer the default path to success. 25% of young people said that if they could start over again, they’d choose trade school or an apprenticeship.

But it’s never too late to join us. Come build the future with us today!

Our union brother Elcora Wallace and his family lost their home in a fire over the weekend. If you’re in the area and want to help out, there’s a fundraiser this Sunday to help them get back on their feet.
