Scale indicators2 records

Recent moves1 record

Broad incumbents

• AFL-CIO: National labor federation of which IUEC Local 2 is an affiliate (via IUEC International). Operates at the broad umbrella level over all affiliated unions, providing political advocacy, organizing resources, and coordination—comparable as governing body rather than direct peer.
• International Union of Elevator Constructors (IUEC): National parent organization that charters IUEC Local 2 and all other IUEC locals. Operates at the broader industry level rather than a single craft jurisdiction, setting bargaining standards and coordinating national apprenticeship/benefit programs.

Regional players

• International Union of Elevator Constructors Local 1 (New York City): Sister IUEC local representing elevator constructors in the New York City metro—the most prominent peer local under the same international union. It performs an identical function (collective bargaining, NEIEP apprenticeship administration, member benefits) but in a different geography.

Others

• National Elevator Industry Educational Program (NEIEP): Joint labor-management apprenticeship and training program that IUEC Local 2 funnels its apprentices through. Adjacent enabling organization rather than a peer union—it provides the educational curriculum and credentialing Local 2's members use.

Direct peers

• Iron Workers Local 1 (Chicago): Chicago iron workers local with parallel union structure to IUEC Local 2, serving the Chicagoland construction trades. Comparable in benefit plan management, apprenticeship programs, and signatory contractor relationships.
• Chicago Regional Council of Carpenters: Chicago's carpenters union council covering the same Chicagoland region as IUEC Local 2. Comparable building trades union with apprenticeship training, signatory contractor network, and benefit plan administration.
• Sheet Metal Workers Local 73 (Chicago): Chicago-area sheet metal workers local under the SMART union, performing the same union function (collective bargaining, apprenticeship, benefits) as IUEC Local 2 for sheet metal workers in the same metro.
• International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers (IBEW) Local 134: Chicago's IBEW local, a large AFL-CIO building trades union representing electricians in the same metro area. Directly comparable in structure (collective bargaining, apprenticeship training, member benefits, jurisdictional representation) and member scale to IUEC Local 2.
• Plumbers Local 130 UA: Chicago's plumber local under the United Association, another Chicago-area AFL-CIO building trades union with similar structure, scale, and benefit administration. Operates as a sister crafts union in the same Building Trades Council.
• International Union of Operating Engineers Local 150: Represents operating engineers across Illinois and Indiana—functionally identical local union structure (apprenticeship, collective bargaining, pension/benefits) in the same geography, serving construction workforce rather than a specific craft.
