‘April showers bring May flowers’ is the old saying, let us just not get too many April showers. Winter has been exceptionally mild as compared to the previous year, which has allowed numerous projects to work throughout the entire winter season.

The 2019 construction season was exceptional, with 16 million man-hours worked in Local 18. The past 5 years have been some of the best work years in Local 18’s history.

Labor History classes are once again underway. If you have never attended, please do so and learn a bit of organized labor history and the history of Local 18 and its current events.

As January 2020 rolls in, so begins a new decade. Let us hope this new decade begins as a prosperous start to the next chapter of our lives. Winter is here yet another time, seems as we get older the winters get closer together.
