IUPAT District Council 77

What IUPAT District Council 77 does

IUPAT District Council 77 is a regional labor union district council operating under the International Union of Painters and Allied Trades (IUPAT). Headquartered in Decatur, Georgia, at 5403 Dividend Drive, DC 77 provides collective bargaining representation, apprenticeship training, and benefits administration to active and retired workers in the finishing trades — including industrial and commercial painters, drywall finishers, glaziers, glass workers, floor covering installers, wall coverers, sign makers, display workers, and convention/show decorators. The council's jurisdiction covers seven southeastern US states (Alabama, Arkansas, Georgia, Mississippi, North Carolina, South Carolina, and Tennessee) and is delivered through a network of 16 local unions, each anchored by designated Business Representatives. The organization is part of a broader IUPAT international body representing over 160,000 members across the United States and Canada.

The council's core service offering centers on three product areas: (1) the IUPAT Mobile Member Portal, a mobile application providing members access to membership information, news and events, the IUPAT Journal, and integrated social media channels; (2) apprenticeship programs for Glazier, Drywall Finisher, and Painter trades, delivered through the Finishing Trades Institute (FTI) and supported by a 45,000 sq ft training facility in Atlanta; and (3) member benefits administration through the Southern Painters Welfare Plan and Tennessee Valley Health Fund, supplemented by Union Plus discounts and Well360 Virtual Health telehealth services. Marketing and member communication are executed via the iupatdc77.org website, dedicated Facebook pages, the GO IUPAT YouTube channel, X/Twitter, and an SMS alert system.

DC 77 operates as a non-profit member-funded organization with subscription/recurring revenue from membership dues. Pricing is not publicly disclosed; dues structure is set at international and local levels. No external parent company, private equity, or venture capital ownership is indicated. Leadership is elected from within the trade — Larry Peacock serves as Business Manager and Secretary Treasurer (elected December 4, 2021), with Juli Prill as Assistant Business Manager. The organization is actively operating with current digital presence, event listings, and member services.

Direct peers

• International Union of Painters and Allied Trades (IUPAT): Parent international union of which DC 77 is a constituent district council. Direct organizational parent and the most directly comparable peer — represents the same finishing trades at national scale with 160,000+ members.
• International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers (IBEW): Building trades union representing electrical workers across the US and Canada, organized through local unions with apprenticeship programs and collective bargaining. Directly comparable as a construction trades union serving similar geographic markets and contractors.
• United Association (UA) - Plumbers, Pipefitters, Service Techs: Building trades union for plumbing, pipefitting, and HVAC service workers. Comparable in structure: regional local unions, apprenticeship training, collective bargaining in construction and industrial sectors including Southeast projects.
• Laborers' International Union of North America (LIUNA): Building trades union representing construction laborers, with regional local unions, apprenticeship programs, and similar collective bargaining footprint across commercial and industrial construction projects.
• United Brotherhood of Carpenters (UBC): Building trades union representing carpenters with regional councils, apprenticeship training, and collective bargaining in commercial/industrial construction. Comparable as a peer finishing/building trades organization with overlapping worksites.
• SMART Union (Sheet Metal, Air, Rail, Transportation): Building trades union covering sheet metal workers and related transportation workers. Comparable in scope: regional locals, apprenticeship programs, and collective bargaining across commercial and industrial construction in overlapping geographies.
• International Union of Bricklayers and Allied Craftworkers (BAC): Building trades union for bricklayers, tile setters, and related craftworkers. Directly comparable as a peer trade union in the finishing/craftwork category, often working on the same construction sites as IUPAT members.
• International Union of Operating Engineers (IUOE): Building trades union representing heavy equipment operators. Comparable as a peer construction trades union with regional locals, apprenticeship programs, and collective bargaining across industrial and infrastructure projects.

Broad incumbents

• AFL-CIO: National labor federation of which IUPAT is an affiliate. Comparable as a labor umbrella organization but operates at a much broader scope, coordinating advocacy across dozens of affiliated unions rather than representing one trade.

Others

• National Building Trades Department (BCTD): AFL-CIO-affiliated department coordinating building trades unions (including IUPAT) for joint advocacy in the construction industry. Comparable as a closely affiliated coordinating body, though it does not directly represent workers itself.
