About UE Local 506

For over 75 years UE Local 506 has waged an aggressive struggle on behalf of its members, which has resulted in substantial progress in wages, benefits and conditions. Our mission is to continue that tradition of struggle, so that we and those who follow us are able to live and work in dignity and security. We will continue to operate on the basis of democratic unionism and rank and file control to ensure that our mission is carried out.
