History

Organized labor has been woven into the American fabric since colonial times. Every worker has the right to join with fellow workers and bargain collectively for standard wages and benefits and established working conditions.

The International Association of Bridge, Structural, Ornamental, and Reinforcing Iron Workers was founded on February 4, 1896, with a mandate to create safer, better working conditions throughout the trade. Today, more than 150 local unions across the United States and Canada represent over 100,000 tradesmen and tradeswomen.

Our Mission

Iron Workers Local No. 387 was chartered by the International Association on January 30, 1924. Our mission is to provide the industry with the safest, most competent, and most productive workforce, capable of performing the full range of tasks required of an Iron Worker. Through collective bargaining, we have standardized wages and benefits, allowing us to supply the skilled workforce needed to complete any project.

We work closely and continuously with the Atlanta Steel Erectors Association to make our market more attractive. This partnership increases our success in winning and completing projects. By tracking Department of Labor (DOL) wage surveys and using Market Recovery efforts, Iron Workers Local No. 387 continues to drive positive change.

Our Jurisdiction

Our jurisdiction covers 121 counties, including Metro Atlanta. It extends north to Rome, Georgia, and Anderson, South Carolina; east to the Dublin, Georgia, area; south to Albany, Georgia; and west to Auburn, Alabama.

Our Vision

Our common goal is to meet every contract requirement while completing projects more safely, more quickly, and with higher quality than our competition. Our vision is to grow our membership by signing new contractors and performing at a level that sustains a larger contractor base. Our strength lies in teamwork: we are, and will remain, a team dedicated to making our contractors better and more successful. In doing so, we lift up everyone who is part of Iron Workers Local No. 387.

Who are we?

Members of Iron Workers Local No. 387 are specialists in their trade, delivering the highest-quality work to our contractors on every project. For Union Iron Workers, this is not just a job; it is a career. With opportunities to work throughout the United States and Canada, our members take pride in being the best in the industry.
