Your shipyard. Your Voice.

Who’s got your back? We do.

You work hard and get the job done right.

You deserve decent wages, good benefits, safe working conditions, basic respect and fair treatment on the job.

We can help.

The Boilermakers union has been fighting for shipyard workers for over 100 years. We know that shipyard work is tough, demanding and dangerous—and that you deserve more than just a paycheck. You deserve a voice on the job and the chance to stand up for what you and your coworkers want.

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.

Don't just build ships. Build a better future for yourself.
