It’s an exciting time to be a 49er. This year, the federal stimulus package will provide almost a billion dollars of additional money for road, infrastructure and transit projects in Minnesota, North and South Dakota. Through the winter, our state-of-the-art training center and apprenticeship programs saw a record number of Operating Engineers upgrade their education and skills.
While our industry has changed a lot since the I.U.O.E., Local 49 first formed, our core obligation and mission have not. Since 1927, we have been working hard to improve the welfare of workers and working families across the upper Midwest. We pledge to continue that work for a better future for you and your family. We’re proud to be the lifeblood of our area’s construction, building trades and stationary industries.
