Florida’s IUEC Local 71 Celebrates 100 Years of Excellence

Can you guess how many elevators there are in the state of Florida?
Think about it - commercial or industrial buildings with two or more floors, multi-story condos and apartment buildings, hospitals, airports / transportation hubs, and theme parks rely on elevators and other vertical transportation equipment to bring riders to their destinations quickly, reliably, and safely.
Most elevators in Florida are within the jurisdiction of IUEC Local 71, which covers Miami, Miami Beach, and greater South Florida. The 1,100 elevator constructor apprentices and mechanics who are members of the Local install, maintain, service, repair, and inspect the majority of them.
Local 71 recently celebrated its 100th anniversary (!) with guests and supporters from around the country, including IUEC General Officers Frank Christensen (General President), Jim Chapman (Assistant General President), and Jim Bender (Ret. Assistant General President), along with representatives from the International, Organizing, Safety, the Elevator Industry Work Preservation Fund (EIWPF), the Local 1 Pipes and Drums, and hundreds of brothers and sisters from IUEC Locals in the U.S. and Canada who traveled to Florida for the event.
