IUEC Local 39 was granted its charter on December 16, 1912. Headquartered in Providence, Rhode Island, Local 39 members have been serving the elevator construction, maintenance, and repair needs of the general public in Rhode Island’s five counties for over a century. 

Local 39 constructors played a key role in several notable projects throughout the years. They contributed to the construction of the nation’s first offshore wind farm; structures that stand over 600 feet high off the coast of Block Island. These elevators continue to be serviced by Local 39 members up to this day.
