Atlanta Iron Workers
Union 387

About Us : Local 387

Organized labor has been a consistent part of the American fabric since the colonial times. All workers have the right to join together to collectively bargain for standard wages and benefits as well as established working conditions. The International Association of Bridge, Structural, Ornamental, and Reinforcing Iron Workers was organized on February 4th, 1896 with the mandate to create safer and better working conditions across the trade. Currently there are more than 150 local unions across the United States and Canada, representing over 100,000 tradesmen and women.

Iron Workers Local No. 387 was chartered through the International Association on January 30th, 1924. The mission of Iron Workers Local No. 387 is to provide the industry with the most competent, productive and safest work force capable of performing the broad spectrum of tasks required of the Iron Worker. Through collective bargaining we have standardized wages and benefits.  This allows us to provide the necessary workforce to complete any project.

We continuously work with the Atlanta Steel Erectors Association to make our market more attractive.  This program allows us to increase the success in obtaining and completing projects. Through tracking of DOL wage surveys and the use of Market Recovery efforts, Iron Workers Local No. 387 continues to affect change.

The jurisdiction of Iron Workers Local No. 387 includes 121 counties, including the Metro Atlanta area as well as reaching as far North as Rome, Georgia and Anderson, South Carolina; East to areas around Dublin, Georgia; South to Albany, Georgia; and, West to Auburn, Alabama.
