Building the American Dream

	Golden Gate Bridge

Have you ever looked up at a towering city skyline and wondered, “Who built that?” What about while you were gazing at the expanse of the Golden Gate Bridge, the gleam of the St. Louis Arch, or the massive height of the Sears Tower? Ever thought about who built those?

You may know that it was proud union Ironworkers who built every one of those structures. We also erect just about every other kind of building, bridge, or industrial structure you can name. That’s right, every day hardworking, dedicated Ironworkers put sweat, skill, and savvy into the bridges that link us together, the stadiums where we watch our sports heroes play, and of course, the soaring towers that scrape the sky.

Our proud union has been working for employment opportunities, fair pay, health and welfare benefits, continuing education, and other worker’s rights since 1896. That’s over 100 years! And as we embrace the future we look forward to continuing the tradition of serving our members and their families into the new century and beyond.
