Ironworkers Local Union 5, chartered in 1901, is an organization made up of hard-working, dedicated and safety-oriented professionals, extensively trained with the skills required to complete the technical, labor-intensive projects, required in the Ironworkers trade. With a membership consisting on 1,300+ journeymen, over 200 apprentices, and a state-of-the-art facility and training center. Located in the heart of our nation’s capital, we represent Ironworkers from the District of Columbia, Maryland, Virginia and West Virginia.

Our vision is to help lead the Ironworkers trade into a strong and thriving future. We are focused on maintaining a solid active membership, the recruitment of non-union Ironworkers, and producing apprentices, year in and year out, that are eager to learn the many aspects of the Ironworker trade.
