We are the International Union of Painters and Allied Trades, District Council 36, a labor union of more than 11,000 men and women in Southern California. Our members work in the finishing trades and include Painters, Drywall Finishers, Glaziers, Floorlayers, and Tradeshow & Signcraft workers.

Since being chartered in 1908, District Council 36 has been committed to our membership, making certain they are paid fair wages and receive the medical, vacation, and retirement benefits to which they are entitled.

District Council 36 provides our contractors with highly trained, skilled, and safety-conscious workers who are prepared to meet the challenges of today’s workplace.

The International Union of Painters and Allied Trades (IUPAT) represents a growing force of over 140,000 working men and women in the United States and Canada. Our members work in the finishing trades as painters, drywall finishers, wallcoverers, glaziers, glass workers, floor covering installers, sign makers, display workers, convention and show decorators, and in many more exciting occupations. IUPAT members’ skills are in high demand at every construction project in North America.

The IUPAT membership extends beyond far beyond the workplace, however. Recognized as one of the most active unions in the labor movement, IUPAT members help shape their communities in many ways: through an abiding commitment to service, by fighting passionately for workers’ rights that benefit all working families, and through effective and aggressive political mobilization.
