Overview

Mission

The objectives of the organization are to defend by all legal and honorable means the rights of its membership, to advance their interests as workers, to develop opportunities for employment in the trade, and by education and cooperation to raise them to a position in society that they are justly entitled.

What it reported doing in 2025

The primary exempt function is to give assistance to and distribution of job related information and education to members within their trade area.

Operating model

Revenue model
Earned-program. 93% of the money available for current operations came from fees and other program revenue.
Distribution model
Direct operator. The filing allocates 99% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.

The verdict

SUPPORTED - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. A relatively small share of voting board members are independent and program spending has declined or grown slowly.
