More than 80 new members initiated into Laborers Local 42

ST. LOUIS – Laborers Local 42 Business Manager Brandon Flinn (center) administered the LiUNA Membership Oath to more than 80 new members during the union’s New Member Orientation on Oct. 12 at its union hall at 301 S. Ewing Ave. Rich McLaughlin, Local 42 assistant business manager, said last year’s new member orientation had to be cancelled because of the COVID pandemic so this year’s event included new members who joined in the last couple years. He attributes the success of the growing membership to ongoing organizing efforts and the increase of active work in the area. – Laborers Local 42 photo
