Your shipyard. Your Voice.
Who’s got your back? We do.

We know that when shipyard workers stand together, you don’t just build ships—you build a better future for yourself, your coworkers and your community. Let us stand with you. More...

Shipbuilding is in our name
They call us the Boilermakers union, but we’re really the International Brotherhood of Boilermakers, Iron Ship Builders, Blacksmiths, Forgers & Helpers. We’ve represented shipyard workers for over 100 years, and we know how a thing or two about the power of having a voice on the job.
Today, we represent workers at NASSCO shipyard in San Diego; the U.S. Navy shipyard in Bremerton, Washington; Ingalls Shipyard in Mississippi; Fincantieri Marinette Marine in Wisconsin; General Dynamics Electric Boat in Connecticut; and Victoria Shipyard in Canada—just to name a few. We even represent the workers who maintain Seattle’s ferry fleets and the workers who built the new Maid of the Mist electric boats in New York.
Let us help you find your voice and stand beside you too.
