    The International Union of Painters and Allied Trades (IUPAT) is a trade union representing about 100,000 painters, glaziers, wall coverers, flooring installers, convention and trade show decorators, glassworkers, sign and display workers, asbestos worker/hazmat technician and drywall finishers in the United States and Canada.[2] Most of its members work in the construction industry. The union's headquarters are located in Hanover, MD.

    Originally called the Brotherhood of Painters and Decorators of America, the union was first formed in 1887.[3] The union changed its name to International Brotherhood of Painters and Allied Trades in January 1970.

    Local unions belong to district councils. District councils perform most of the services of the union. IUPAT is affiliated with the AFL–CIO in the U.S.

    Electoral politics

    [edit]

    The Painters was one of three unions (SEIU and AFSCME were the others) to endorse Howard Dean during the 2004 Democratic primaries.[4] In a surprise move in 2008, IUPAT endorsed Republican presidential candidate Mike Huckabee.[5] The union had endorsed Hillary Clinton in the Democratic primaries, and endorsed Barack Obama for president in June 2008.[6] They endorsed Hillary Clinton in the 2016 Democratic Presidential Primary.[7]
