Since 1950, the International Union of Operating Engineers Local 280 has proudly represented skilled professionals throughout Eastern Washington and Northern Idaho. We negotiate fair wages, quality benefits, safe working conditions, and strong workplace protections through collective bargaining, contract enforcement, and member advocacy.
IUOE Local 280 represents dedicated professionals across both the public and private sectors. Our members operate, maintain, repair, and support the essential infrastructure that communities rely on every day—including public works, utilities, irrigation districts, manufacturing, and industrial operations.
Being a member of IUOE Local 280 means more than belonging to a union—it means having a voice in your workplace and the strength of collective representation. Members benefit from negotiated wages and benefits, retirement security, healthcare, workplace protections, professional representation, and experienced advocates committed to protecting their rights. Together, we work to build safer workplaces and a better future for every member and their family.
