"Presenting new ideas in the growing Independent Labor Movement"

The Congress of Independent Unions was established in 1958 and is properly registered by the United States Department of Labor.

Affiliation by contractors with the C.I.U. offers aid to Independent Unions which is not available elsewhere and helps such Unions in keeping their autonomy.

We offer Membership-At-Large to the construction trades and a contract with reasonable work rules which allows contractors to remain competitive and provide stable employment for their employees. C.I.U. Contractors are not confined to specific geographical areas or craft jurisdictional lines.

The C.I.U. does not have a Hiring Hall. Unemployment is not a problem with C.I.U. members as the majority of them work for the same contractor on a permanent basis.
