July is and a lot of us are feeling it this week with the heat dome across the Great Plains, the Southeast, and the Mid-Atlantic.

Drink water regularly, take time to cool down, and look out for your brothers and sisters on the job.

Working in high temperatures can increase the risk of heat-related illness, making preparation and awareness critical. Knowing the warning signs of heat stress can help keep everyone safe.

Stay alert. Stay hydrated. Stay safe.

For 125 years, the IUEC has stood for skilled craftsmanship, industry-leading training, jobsite safety, and strong union representation.

From the earliest elevator installations to today's most advanced vertical transportation systems, our members have been there every step of the way.

Next month, we celebrate 125 years of the IUEC and the members whose craftsmanship, professionalism, and solidarity made it possible.

The history is remarkable. The future is ours to build.

Welcome! to the almost 450 new members that united for a stronger future-for all of us.

This , the IUEC honors and remembers the brave men and women who made the ultimate sacrifice in service to our country.

We also recognize the families who carry their legacy forward, and the enduring impact their service continues to have on our communities.

As we pause to reflect, we are grateful for their courage, sacrifice, and commitment to something greater than themselves.

May is Mental Health Awareness Month. Remember that it’s always okay to pause, check in with yourself and others, and to ask for help. Your mental health is as important as your physical safety.

🕯️ Today is Workers’ Memorial Day, a day when we honor the men and women who lost their lives on the job and recommit ourselves to protecting those who continue the work.

Safety is more than policy. It’s a promise.
