About the Union

Thank you for considering a career with the International Association of Heat and Frost Insulators and Allied Workers, the largest, most influential union of trained mechanical insulation and firestop workers in the world!

For over a century, the Union has continued to preserve and protect the rights of its members, representing their interests in every aspect of the trade. These efforts include ensuring worker health and safety, negotiating comprehensive wage and fringe benefits packages, providing education and training for members in advanced mechanical insulation and firestop techniques, and representing the industry at the federal, state and local government levels.

The power of the collective bargaining process and the superior quality of our Union training programs have positioned the members of the Insulators and Allied Workers Union as leaders of their profession. As a result of this distinguished reputation, the Union attracts bright, ambitious men and women such as yourself–individuals committed to learning a trade that is valued highly in today’s energy-conscious society, and that promises to be both professionally and economically rewarding.
