About Us

Founded in 1940, we are a member driven organization that fights every day for good benefits, competative wages and dignity on the job. There is nothing that can not be accomplished when workers stick together. At Local 259 we pride ourselves on our long history of transperency, good contracts and being true Labor advocates.
