What Iuec 71 does

IUEC Local 71 is a chartered local union of the International Union of Elevator Constructors (IUEC), AFL-CIO affiliated, representing approximately 1,400 elevator constructors, mechanics, and apprentices across South Florida. The local was established by charter issued January 9, 1924, and operates under the 2021 IUEC Constitution/Bylaws and the 2022-2027 Master Agreement governing collective bargaining. Its jurisdictional coverage spans Southeast Florida and the Naples area, where it represents workers engaged in building, maintaining, repairing, and modernizing elevators, escalators, dumbwaiters, stage lifts, moving walks, and wheelchair lifts.

The union delivers services across three core functions: collective bargaining representation, apprenticeship and continuing education through the National Elevator Industry Educational Program (NEIEP), and benefits administration — including pension, medical, dental, vision, death benefit trust, and supplemental insurance. Its member-facing technology stack is built on the UnionActive CMS platform powering iuec71.org and the MyLink Member Portal (available for 3rd Quarter 2026 dues payment and member self-service). The organization does not develop proprietary technology beyond what these third-party platforms provide.

Revenue is generated entirely from member dues paid quarterly, with rates ranging from $291 per quarter for unemployed or disabled members, $600-$741 for apprentices across four wage tiers, and $852 for full Mechanic/Trade Members (with a $75 discount for working members paying by the July 1 deadline). The union's go-to-market motion is community-led, organized around apprenticeship pipelines, the Helmets to Hardhats military-to-construction transition program, retiree engagement events, and informational outreach via ElevatorInfo.org to general contractors, property managers, and building representatives seeking union-affiliated elevator contractors.

Scale indicators2 records

Recent moves6 records

Expansion highlights5 records

Others

• Helmets to Hardhats: National nonprofit connecting transitioning military service members to construction careers; an existing IUEC Local 71 recruitment partner. Not a competitor but a channel partner whose reach materially expands the local's apprentice funnel.
• International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers (IBEW): Major AFL-CIO affiliated construction trade union with a similar apprenticeship and collective bargaining model. Comparable in structure (local chapters, dues, multi-employer bargaining, benefits stack) and has partial jurisdictional overlap as elevator systems become more electronic.
• United Brotherhood of Carpenters: Large AFL-CIO affiliated construction trade union operating in South Florida alongside IUEC Local 71. Comparable in apprenticeship training infrastructure, local-chapter structure, and benefit administration model — though serving a different craft.
• National Elevator Industry Educational Program (NEIEP): Joint labor-management educational program that delivers the apprenticeship curriculum Local 71's apprentices use. Not a peer in the union sense, but a tightly coupled ecosystem partner whose training quality directly determines the local's skilled-labor pipeline.

Broad incumbents

• AFL-CIO: National federation of labor unions representing over 12 million workers; IUEC Local 71 is an affiliated local. Provides the broader political/advocacy layer that Local 71 sits within but does not directly compete with.
• International Union of Elevator Constructors (IUEC): Parent international union that issued Local 71's charter and governs its Constitution, By-Laws, Rules, Regulations and Practices. Operates across all IUEC locals nationwide, providing a broader-incumbent view of the same elevator constructor trade.

Direct peers

• IUEC Local 18 (Los Angeles/Southern California): Sister IUEC local covering elevator constructors across Southern California. Direct peer in trade, dues structure, and apprenticeship pipeline; useful benchmark for membership scale in dense coastal high-rise markets.
• IUEC Local 2 (Chicago): Sister IUEC local covering elevator constructors in Illinois and northwest Indiana under the same international charter. Identical business model — quarterly dues, NEIEP apprenticeship training, multi-employer collective bargaining — making it the closest structural comparable to Local 71 outside Florida.
• IUEC Local 1 (New York City): Sister IUEC local representing elevator constructors across the NYC metro area. Comparable in charter, governance under the same 2021 IUEC Constitution/Bylaws, and Master Agreement structure; differs in scale and high-rise construction mix.
• IUEC Local 8 (Milwaukee/Upper Midwest): Sister IUEC local serving elevator constructors in Wisconsin and the upper Midwest. Comparable organizational structure, benefit offerings, and Master Agreement coverage; smaller-scale comparable for non-megacity union locals.
