Local 947, INTERNATIONAL BROTHERHOOD OF SERVICE WORKERS AFL-CIO Union, represents porters, doormen/concierges, handymen, and custodians at some of the country’s major real estate building service companies. For the past 30 years, we have negotiated extremely strong contracts and will continue to do so. Local 947 is a Union that takes to heart the wishes and desires of the membership. We take pride in negotiating extremely high health and retirement benefit plan packages and much-improved wages, hours, holidays, sick leave, bereavement leave and other working conditions.
