International Union of Painters & Allied Trades
Affiliate Membership

You may become an Affiliate Member if:

  • You are a former member of the IUPAT and are out of work, or
  • You are presently performing finishing trade work but are not eligible for regular union membership.

Once Affiliate Members join, they will receive a call from an IUPAT representative in their area, to complete a brief questionnaire about their work experience. Affiliate Members will then be placed on the Affiliate Member Out-of-Work List (“OWL”). The Affiliate Member OWL is used when the IUPAT cannot find enough regular members to fill the staffing needs of a union contractor, or to recruit individuals when the union needs to place painters, drywall finishers, and glaziers with union contractors for special projects geared toward recapturing work in market sectors that rarely use union labor, such as commercial and industrial repaint and retrofit, new residential, and home repaint and remodel.

Thus, the biggest benefit of Affiliate Membership is possible transition into regular membership and a return, or entry, into union employment. But there are more benefits, including having the IUPAT a phone call away if you are having issues with your employer. See below for a list of benefits of Affiliate Membership.

Benefits of Affiliate Membership

Representation on the Job
Representation on the Job

The IUPAT will help you make certain your rights are protected on the job. You don’t have to be a regular member of a union to get paid what you’re supposed to get paid, or to receive the right training and equipment to get the job done safely. The IUPAT can help you deal with issues with your employer, at no additional costs to you.
