Welcome to IUOE 701
Welcome to the homepage of the Operating Engineers Local 701, which represents heavy equipment operators, heavy duty repairers, technical engineers and stationary engineers in Oregon and Southwest Washington.
Since 1918, Local 701 has formed and shaped the infrastructure and skylines of our region. We began with 312 members working during World War I as hoisting, portable and shipyard engineers and have grown to more than 4,200 operators and stationary engineers that are regularly dispatched onto contracts worth millions of dollars, where hydraulic equipment enables us to work with power and speed.
Our staff of professionals at the Local 701 headquarters in Gladstone, Oregon is dedicated to the idea that every member is the union. We believe in the quality of our membership because they are highly skilled and more productive than non-union workers.
Every day we stand up for job security, healthcare/pension plans, better wages and safer working conditions for our members. In the State Legislature we maintain positive relationships with both political parties in order to protect and extend the rights and benefits achieved by our predecessors. Local 701 is an influential player in economic development, energy and transportation issues facing Oregon and SW Washington.
We hope that you enjoy our website and we encourage you to contact us if you have any questions.
