Being a union member means you are on a team where someone always has your back, answers are available, and you are not alone! Together, as a unified force, Local 68 makes a genuine difference in the lives of our members.
We help protect union jobs and look for more job opportunities for our members, current and future. Championing union member rights at union worksites is part of our mission, plus offering valuable benefits and training to enrich members lives.
OUR MISSION
For members, our mission is to help you become the most highly skilled, experienced and productive operating engineers available, to maintain those skills as technology advances, and to be rewarded with high-paying job opportunities.
We do this by providing training, by organizing, being politically active and by negotiating the best possible wages, fringe benefits and working conditions as compensation.
In summary, Local 68 members enjoy a range of benefits that can no longer be taken for granted by non-union members. These benefits are so extensive and valuable, we’ve devoted an entire website to inform members on what they have and how to use them.
