Boilermakers Local 105

International Brotherhood of Boilermakers, Iron Ship Builders, Blacksmiths, Forgers and Helpers

The Boilermakers are a diverse union of workers in the construction, maintenance, manufacturing, professional emergency medical services, repair and related industries. Boilermakers build and repair ships, fishing boats, ferries, barges, cranes, boilers, tanks, pressure vessels, plate and structural fabrications, among other things. These skilled workers often use acetylene torches, power grinders and other equipment for welding, burning, cutting, rigging, layout and bolting. It is hard work, and heavy lifting and dedication to the craft is required.

Who We Represent

The International Brotherhood of Boilermakers is a diverse union representing workers throughout the United States and Canada in industrial construction, repair, and maintenance; manufacturing; shipbuilding and marine repair; railroads; mining and quarrying; cement kilns; and related industries. The International Brotherhood of Boilermakers unites over 250 Local Lodges throughout North America, providing numerous services for Local Lodges and individual members and uniting all our members in our common endeavor to improve the lives and lifestyles of our members.

Any member of the IBB may call himself or herself a boilermaker, and many do even though they do not actually work in boiler construction and repair. Many also refer to themselves by some other trade our union represents through its many divisions. You may hear our members refer to themselves as blacksmiths, forgers, shipbuilders, cement workers, stove workers, metal polishers, or numerous other job descriptions.

Boilermakers Code and Creed

The Boilermakers have embarked upon a historical endeavor to impact the attitude and conduct of every construction boilermaker in North America.

The International developed a Code and a Creed that exemplifies the qualities and characteristics of the most elite craft in the building trades. The Boilermaker Code is a 30-minute documentary film that explores past and present actions and their results. The film also solidifies a jobsite code of conduct to ensure our future legacy in the construction and maintenance industries.

Every construction Boilermaker will see this film, train with its message and Live The Code.

Live The Code:
