👷♂️👷♀️ Always having a brother or sister’s back and knowing they have yours is part of what it means to be member of the International Union of Elevator Constructors (IUEC). Looking out for your fellow elevator mechanics and apprentices is about more than just camaraderie; in a trade where a typical day includes facing serious hazards on the job, that support is an essential part of working safe.
🛠️ It’s also something that extends beyond the jobsite. Across the United States and Canada, IUEC Locals and members give generously of their time and resources to support nonprofit organizations that help people in need – such as the Diabetes Research Institute and Lift for a Vet. This holiday season, we want to highlight the Toy Box Connection - another example of a charity the IUEC has been involved with for years.
🧸❄️ “It’s our job to bring joy to those who need it most, especially during the holidays. When we deliver items – toys, gift cards, linens – to folks having a tough time, our goal is to provide some distraction,” said TBC Founder Michelle Maxia. “The IUEC has been such a vital partner to us – their members help us go into communities across the country and make a real difference. It’s a beautiful thing.”
🤝 IUEC National Organizer Bobby Capuani, who’s worked closely with Maxia and the TBC, emphasized how important this support is. “When tragedy strikes – whether that be a house fire, the loss of a parent, or flooding – the key to moving forward is togetherness,” he said. “That’s what our union’s relationship with TBC is all about – building a greater sense of community. It’s about showing up for others when they need us most. We can’t solve all the world’s problems at once, but if we each play our part, there’s a lot of good we can do.”
