Local 1 IUEC has changed my life! When organizing I was terrified. So many mixed feelings. The IUEC made so many promises that were way to good to be true. Every promise that was made to me was true. The men and women of IUEC have truly made me feel like a brother I wouldn't change my choice to be an IUEC member for a nothing.

My dad was an elevator constructor for almost 40 years. He started in the business when he was 19. His father was in the industry, so my dad decided to get into it as well. He retired from being an elevator constructor five years ago, and now he works as an elevator inspector

@@user-ny3mk1uv1h To be honest, he really likes inspecting elevators. He could’ve taken everything, and quit when he retired, but he chose to be an elevator inspector

I suck at math but I still wanted to do something in this field

My Dad is an IUEC Local 2. He was an elevator constructor for over 30 years. He retired from it a few years back, and he works as an elevator inspector now.

How can one join your apprenticeship program without knowing someone on the inside? Seems like everyone gets in through a referral. I've tried calling the Local but they're not much help.
