The International Brotherhood of Boilermakers is one of the oldest unions in the United States and was organized in 1880. We represent heavy construction's most elite welders and riggers, as well as tradesmen and tradeswomen who work in shipbuilding, railroad, cement, metal work, manufacturing and health and hospitality industries. We are headquartered in Kansas City, Missouri, and service more than 200 local lodges across North America.
