Our Mission:
A Representative Democracy

We’re on a mission to make our democracy truly representative and ensure that every voter has a fair shot at making their voice heard in the process. 

Attorney General Eric Holder established the National Democratic Redistricting Committee (NDRC) with support from party leaders, President Barack Obama, and Speaker Emerita Nancy Pelosi because they understood that the redistricting process was vulnerable to politicians who care more about protecting their own power than ensuring voters choose their representatives.

In Clearfield, Erie, and Western PA there are over 2,000 Iron Workers specializing in the following craft sectors: structural steel erection, pre-cast concrete construction, bridge erection and repair, ornamental iron/curtain wall, concrete/reinforcing steel, pre-engineered metal buildings, welding, rigging/machinery moving, post tensioning, industrial construction, industrial plant maintenance, and wind turbine construction.

Taking pride in their craft and performance has resulted in the building of some of the most recognizable buildings, sports arenas, bridges, stadiums, monuments, and hospitals in the area and across the country.

As you plan and prepare for your next construction project, recruit the highly skilled, best-trained, and safety-conscious team of craftsmen in the industry – Iron Workers Local Union No. 3.
