Welcome to the ILEU webpage
What is the ILEU?
Founded in 1944, the Independent Laboratory Employees Union is a small, independent, labor union. We Represent the FLSA covered workers at the ExxonMobil Research and Engineering Co., located in Annandale, NJ.
Through the ILEU, workers maintain the right to bargain collectively through representatives of their own choosing, as a means of securing better terms and conditions of employment. Additionally, the ILEU engages in concerted activities for the purpose of collective bargaining and other mutual aid and protection, as a way to promote the social, intellectual and material welfare and advancement of our members.

Results of the Ratification Meeting
On July 14 2021, the membership came together to vote on the most recent proposal.
Out of the 129 members who participated in the vote, over 80% voted against the motion.
The motion “to ratify the latest Memorandum of Agreement proposed by EMRE on June 29, 2021” has failed.
The result of this vote has made it clear that the members of ILEU are united in the belief that job protections take precedent over other negotiable items.
