Welcome to Local 825
With nearly 8,000 members across the state of NJ and lower NY, Local 825 is a progressive trade union representing Operating Engineers. Our primary purpose is to represent our members in their employment and to negotiate a contract that improves wages, benefits, and working conditions. History has shown that only when workers join together in unions can their voices be heard and the lives of themselves and their families be bettered. We exist to protect workers from unfair treatment. Through collective bargaining with organized contractors, IUOE Local 825 has been able to provide its members with better wages and pension benefits, better health care, job security, and the best available training for career advancement. |
