Since 1950, we have participated in thousands of projects across New England.
Local History
Foundation
On June 1, 1896, Local 7 was chartered as part of the International Association of Bridge, Structural, Ornamental, and Reinforcing Iron Workers in Philadelphia, PA. Unfortunately, their charter was revoked on March 31, 1897.
Move to Boston
Local 7 was chartered in Boston on April 15. On that date, Boston became the first city with two Ironworker local unions (along with Local 4). Local 4's charter was revoked March 31, 1902.
Post WWII Boom
After World War II Local 7 entered a growth period until the 1970's. With men returning home and the United States out of the Great Depression, Local 7 Ironworkers were in demand.
Generations of Ironworkers
Many of our members are 2nd, 3rd, or even 4th generation Ironworkers, so our mission and goals have been passed down since 1896. We want to improve work conditions for Ironworkers in our territory and across the United States.
