Welcome to Local 877!

We represent stationary engineers and maintenance workers throughout Massachusetts, Rhode Island, New Hampshire, Maine, and Vermont. Our campaigns bring workers together to demand a voice on the job and a seat at the table with management. Together we improve and protect working conditions for our members.

A union…

  • Is a democratically organized group of workers who have united to improve their overall quality of life.
  • Represents workers in negotiations with employers.
  • Ensures workers have a say in their wages, benefits, safety, health and well-being.
  • Gives workers a strong voice in the workplace.
