🌉 PROTECTING THE INFRASTRUCTURE THAT KEEPS OUR COMMUNITIES MOVING

The work of a Bridge/Industrial Painter goes far beyond what you see on the surface.

DC51 Local 1 Bridge/Industrial Painters bring specialized training, technical knowledge, and skilled craftsmanship to the bridges, steel structures, and infrastructure our communities depend on every day. Through proper surface preparation, protective coating systems, and corrosion control, their work helps defend critical structures against the elements and extends their service life for years to come.

It’s demanding work that requires precision, safety, and an understanding of the responsibility that comes with maintaining the infrastructure thousands of people rely on every day. We’re proud of our Local 1 members who work behind the scenes and high above the ground to help keep our communities protected, connected, and moving forward.

Built to serve. Skilled to preserve. Union proud.

✊🏾✊🏼✊🏻✊🏽 BUILDING UNION POWER STARTS WITH US.

DC51 is proud to be represented at the 2026 Building Union Power Summit, strengthening our commitment to reinvigorate, educate, and empower our members.

Building Union Power means more than belonging to a union—it means showing up, getting involved, using our voices, and taking action to grow our union and become the strongest, boldest version of ourselves.

Because when we fight, we win. When we stand together, we win.

One Union. One Family. One Fight.

🛠️ THE FINISHING TOUCH THAT MAKES THE DIFFERENCE

DC51 Local 368 and Local 890 Drywall Finishers bring specialized training, industry knowledge, and years of hands-on skill to the projects that help shape our communities. Their work takes patience, accuracy, and an eye for detail—turning unfinished surfaces into smooth, professional finishes ready to stand the test of time.

It’s craftsmanship that often goes unnoticed once the project is complete—but it’s an essential part of creating the quality spaces we see and use every day. A special shoutout to Component Assembly Systems for continuing to provide opportunities for our members to put their training and skills to work.

🪟 Where Precision Meets Craftsmanship.

Behind every successful glazing project is the skill, knowledge, and dedication of highly trained union professionals. Our Local 963 Glaziers at AGM Contracting's fabrication shop in Capitol Heights, Maryland are showcasing the craftsmanship that goes into fabricating architectural glass and metal systems before they ever reach the jobsite.

From reading detailed shop drawings to precision fabrication and quality control, this work requires years of training, technical expertise, and an unwavering commitment to excellence. DC51 is proud to highlight the remarkable work our members perform every day as they continue building the future of our industry through union craftsmanship.

One Union. One Family. One Fight.
