Our History

Built by Working People

Our story is about people coming together to improve work and support one another. Every generation adds its own experience, skills, and determination.

This demonstration timeline shows how a local can tell that story without losing sight of the members who make it possible.

Coming Together

The beginning: workers identify shared concerns and build relationships across jobs and shifts. Organizing turns individual experiences into a common purpose.

Building a Voice at Work

The next chapter: members develop stewards, learn their agreements, and create regular opportunities to meet and make decisions.

Carrying It Forward

Today and tomorrow: experienced members share what they know, new members bring fresh ideas, and the union keeps building its next chapter together.
