We are IUOE Stationary Engineers, Local 39, who maintain critical facilities throughout Northern California and Northern Nevada.
We sustain infrastructure in hospitals which keep our communities healthy, commercial buildings that provide workspaces for jobs, higher education facilities that prepare our future leaders as well as arenas, stadiums and gaming facilities which provide entertainment and retail for an economically strong community.
Local 39’s philosophy can be summed up in four words: Organize, negotiate, service and train. Organize effectively, negotiate intelligently, service efficiently, and train extensively.
Local 39 actively fights to improve our members’ quality of life on and off the job, through access to fair wages, good benefits, safe working conditions and solidarity among members. Our members are our Locals – regular people who expect to earn decent wages and benefits for our hard work and commitment to getting the job done right.
Once in the Union, our members get the best contracts possible. Local 39 members who need the Union’s assistance receive immediate attention. Representation is provided by a highly trained, full time staff of Business Representatives and attorneys who are specialists in public and private sector employer-employee relations. These professionals are responsible to bargaining units and members for all components of the representation process. From first level grievances and contract negotiations, to rights or interest lawsuits, Local 39 is a full service Union.
Local 39 conducts a complete training program open to all our members. Our training program is a model copied by other Unions and recognized as second to none throughout the United States and Canada.
