About us

The Construction Industry Service Corporation (CISCO) is a non-profit labor management association founded in 1988 in an effort to promote cooperative, non-adversarial relationships between members of Labor and management. Our membership consists of Labor Unions and signatory contractor associations from the Unionized construction trades in Cook, DuPage, Lake, McHenry, Kane and Kendall Counties. Collectively, we represent more than 8,000 Union contractors and 140,000 Union construction workers. CISCO’s mission is to strengthen the Unionized construction market in the greater Chicagoland area. In Union construction, Labor-management cooperation is directly related to market share, and to build market share, it takes the cooperation of the entire industry. Here’s why it's working: • In Northeastern Illinois, Labor and management have maintained non-adversarial relationships for decades, which have allowed the industry to progress more quickly. By working together, Labor and management can enhance the overall quality of the industry, which benefits everyone. • Unions building trades and contractors hold a dominant market share in construction in the Chicago Metropolitan area. One of the main contributors to this success is the cooperative relationship that exists between Labor and management. At CISCO, we look for new ways to promote Union construction and provide valuable services to all our member organizations.

    IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT FROM IUOE Local 150: We are sharing news that the International Union of Operating Engineers Local 150 has decided not to open applications for the Heavy Equipment Operator Apprenticeship program for the 2024-2025 term. Local 150 carefully monitors projects and man-hours. Given the shift in manpower requirements on the heavy highway side of our union, which is directly linked to the loss of natural gas pipe replacements for Nicor and Peoples Gas, along with the current restrictions on spending for grid improvements, we are being cautious right now. We also are sharing news that for those who applied to the Heavy Equipment Operator Apprenticeship program last year, your application will remain active this year. However, please note that the applications for our other three year-round apprenticeship programs remain open: Heavy Equipment Technician Construction Building Inspector, GeoThermal and Water Well Driller We encourage interested candidates to consider these alternative pathways, which offer equally rewarding and challenging career opportunities. Each program provides comprehensive training, hands-on experience, and the chance to work alongside seasoned professionals in the field. Thank you for your understanding and continued interest in the International Union of Operating Engineers Local 150. Learn more about applying and how to prepare here: https://lnkd.in/gGqUXuAu #Apprenticeship #OperatingEngineer #ApprenticeshipOpportunity #FreeEducation #CISCOBuildUnion

    The Chicago-based IBEW Local 134 is having a Manufacturing Jobs Fair Saturday, October 5, at its NECA (National Electrical Contractors Association) Technical Institute in Alsip. Please bring at least 20 copies of your resume to this event. This is the first-ever event! Over a dozen manufacturing companies in the Greater Chicagoland Area will be represented. These are direct-hire manufacturing jobs covered by Collective Bargaining Agreements with the IBEW. Companies seek many immediate hires and more hiring opportunities over the coming months. This is a job fair, not an informative career fair. Attendees should be interested and looking for a job. https://lnkd.in/gfS2EweN #JobsFair #UnionElectrician #ManufacturingJobsFair #CISCOBuildUnion
