IUOE Local 49

You don’t always see them, or realize who they are, but highly skilled members of @49Local are building and maintaining our states infrastructure. And some times they are called on to take it down to start over.

Great news for @MNBldgTrades. Lots of work hours in this excellent infrastructure project.

Members, join us for pulled-pork sandwiches, beans, chips and coleslaw at 6:30 tonight before the General Membership Meeting at 7:30 p.m. in Minneapolis!
