  • We envision a future where every worker in the finishing trades has the opportunity to develop their skills, work in safe environments, and contribute meaningfully to their communities. Our goal is to be a leading force in shaping an industry that values the dignity of labor, promotes fair practices, and creates sustainable progress for all

  • IUPAT DC 11 serves a diverse and vibrant community of over 1,300 families across Southern New England. Our members include skilled painters, decorators, drywall finishers, glaziers, and a variety of other trades professionals. We cater not only to our members but also to the broader community by ensuring that the projects we undertake enhance the local infrastructure, beautify public spaces, and adhere to the highest standards of quality and safety

  • The IUPAT is a growing force of over 160,000 active and retired men and  women in the United States and Canada. Our members work in the  Finishing Trades as industrial and commercial painters, drywall finishers, and glaziers. IUPAT members’ skills are in  high demand at every construction project in North America.

    The IUPAT membership extends far beyond the workplace, however.  Recognized as one of the most active unions in the labor movement, IUPAT  members help shape their communities in many ways: through an abiding  commitment to service, by fighting passionately for workers’ rights that  benefit all working families, and through effective and aggressive political mobilization.

"When I first joined I was back home living in my mother's basement at 29 and practically starting over. I'm 34 now, make more money than I ever have in my life, starting to buy a house and can comfortably live on my own, even with the raising prices of everything!"
