Chris Baker from Local 830, District Council 14, became a shop steward because he couldn’t stand seeing his coworkers being taken advantage of. He said, “If you don’t like it, fix it!”

Proud that @Meta sponsored and participated in this year’s Tradeswomen Build Nations conference as we deepen our partnership with @NABTU to expand opportunities in America’s skilled trades.
It was especially meaningful to see graduates of our @AmerWorkAcademy spend time with cGarvey. His leadership is helping create more opportunities for women in the skilled trades to build the infrastructure that will power America's future.

Many may not know this, but our union is proud to represent metal finishers. Metal polishing is an extremely skilled trade, with our members essentially acting as scientists, mixing and matching colors.
Check out the essential work of Chicago’s metal finishers, who work all s historic buildings looking shiny and beautiful!
