The union dates back to the 1890s, and prides itself on the contributions its members have made to the continent’s infrastructure over the centuries. Members have helped construct bridges and buildings that are now considered national icons. These include: the Golden Gate Bridge, Sears Tower, the St. Louis Arch, the World Trade Center and now Freedom Tower.
