This week explores the origins and growth of the International Union of Elevator Constructors, highlighting its role in representing elevator constructors and advancing safety, training, and fair working conditions. Apprentices learn how the union was formed, the milestones it achieved in securing protections for members, and its commitment to improving the industry through education and collective action. By understanding the IUEC’s history, apprentices gain a stronger sense of pride in their trade and a clearer connection to the traditions and values that guide their work today.
