About Us

The International Union of Operating Engineers (IUOE) is a progressive Union representing some 400,000 members in virtually every town and city in Canada and the U.S.

Our members work in Canada's maintenance and service industries and in health care and education providing a vast range of public services. They provide diagnostic, therapeutic, clerical and nursing care. They operate and maintain the equipment necessary to build and enhance Canada's infrastructure. In fact, there is little you can do in today's society that will not have involved an Operating Engineer.

Canadian members of our Union enjoy a multi-level of service. They are able to access their own Local professional staff who may be assisted by the Canadian Conference, the Canadian Director and his staff or the General President and his International Staff.

Each level has fully trained representatives who all share the same philosophy – people come first!
