WHO WE ARE

IUOE 701 is a labor union founded in 1918 out of the International Union of Operating Engineers. We currently represent over 3,900 heavy equipment operators, heavy-duty repairers, technical engineers and stationary engineers working throughout Oregon and Southwest Washington.

WHAT WE DO

Local 701 has formed and shaped the roads, infrastructure and skylines of our region. Today, we operate the construction industry’s largest cranes and most sophisticated pieces of construction equipment. Wherever you go, you see our construction members’ work – from roads and highways to bridges, dams, and power plants to office buildings, high rise condos and hospitals. If it is a large structure ,members of Local 701 were probably part of building it. Our stationary members are engaged in many facets of the manufacturing industry, food production industry, building maintenance, hospitals, and data center facilities, where we are charged with operations and maintenance of mission and safety critical systems.
