Meet the Vermont Labor Movement: Ironworkers Local 7

Local 7 represents workers who weld, install rebar, build bridges, construct the metal frames of buildings and more. Recently, Local 7 Ironworkers completed the structure of the Burlington Square project on time and under budget after a non-union contractor couldn't get the job done.

Why Prop 3 matters for Ironworkers: Ironworkers work high up with dangerous tools. They have some of the most dangerous jobs in the construction industry. Proposal 3 makes sure that Ironworkers will always be able to fight together for strong safety protections on jobsites.

Meet Ironworkers Local 7, one of our affiliates! We need to pass Proposal 3 to make sure the people who build our bridges and frame our buildings will always be able to fight for strong safety protections at work.
