Also, as union members, Local 495 Ironworkers have immediate representation regarding their work. Through collective bargaining and the negotiated wage rate our members receive the best pay and the opportunity to advance in the industry. Due to our belief in family, health and welfare the men and women of Ironworkers Local 495 have family health coverage and pensions for their future.
