WELCOME!
You have arrived at the home page of the Operating Engineers Local Union #649. We are one of six
hoisting and portable locals in the State of Illinois.
As you browse through our web site you will have an opportunity to see that we are providing
upgrade training to our members as well as providing a quality apprenticeship program for new
members coming into the Union.
We also have a very aggressive organizing program in place. This assures a high standard of
living to our members and offers the same opportunity to other workers who perform
operating engineer type work in our jurisdiction for their current employers.
