What International Union of Painters and Allied Trades does
Mission
We the members of district councils and local unions affiliated with the International Union of Painters and Allied Trades - believing that organization and collective action isnecessary to foster and adopt ways and means for the continuous improvement of the working and living standards of the members of this international union; to secure legislation inthe interests of our members; to bring about higher wages, shorter hours and better working conditions for them; to influence public opinion by peaceful and legal methods in favor ofour affiliated organizations and all organized labor generally; to promote, encourage and bring into existence satisfactory contractual relationships with employers in the industries from which the members of our affiliates are drawn; to advance and maintain better relations between our members and their employers; and to otherwise enrich the lives of our members and their families, all other working men and women.
As stated on its FY2024 Form 990.
Programs
Served as the bargaining representative for approximately 107,880 painters and workers in the allied trades - organized workers, negotiated wages and benefits, promoted fair labor standards and practices, trained workers to meet employers' needs and to advance their own skills, and enhanced workplace safety and efficiency.
Iupat's job corp program is a cost reimbursement contract with the u.s. Department of labor. The iupat has been involved in job corps since 1969 and is one of five building trades unions offering training programs through job corps. Today, our union sponsors 42 job corps programs in 27 states. Although the majority are thirty-six (36) painting programs, the iupat also offers two (2) floor covering programs, three (3) glazing programs, one (1) sign and display program.all iupat job corps programs take approximately one year to complete, and consist of on-the-job training, social skills development and general education. Students must do well in all parts of the program in order to meet the requirements necessary for entry into an apprenticeship program. The amount of time spent in general education and on-the-job training will depend on how hard the student works and on their educational level at the time of entry into the program.
Iupat's organizing fund provides grants/assistance to affiliates to help promote and grow the organization. The iupat organizing department helps the union's local district councils develop their own strategic organizing plans and helps to coordinate campaigns that are regional, national and international in scope.
The 3 programs described on its FY2023 Form 990, listed largest first by expense.
The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2017, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2017, 50 means half. The number beside each label in the key is where it ended.
Balance sheet
Total assets and total liabilities at each year end, in dollars. The largest one-year move in total assets was 2020 to 2021, from $88M to $96M (+8%).
How it's funded, over time
Each bar is one year's revenue split into where it came from, and every bar is the same height — these are shares, not amounts, so a year that raised twice as much looks the same size. Hover a bar for the split.
Government-grant reliance: 2017 16% · 2018 17% · 2019 16% · 2020 18% · 2021 16% · 2022 16% · 2023 9%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 2 of the last 8 reported years ran a deficit.

Leadership and staff
The officers, directors, trustees and key employees listed on each return. Joined and no longer listed compare each filing with the year before, matching people by surname and first initial; a year after a gap, or a roster under three people, has no comparison.
