Local 48’s Updated Hall Built 100% Union

Local 48’s renovated union hall looks even better filled with active members.

L.U. 48 (c,em,i,rtb,rts,st,tm&ptc), PORTLAND, OR — With the new year comes a new look for the hall. We committed from the start that the work would be done 100% union. Marshall McGrady, our political coordinator, took on an additional role in coordinating all the meetings from initial design to final product, and the results speak for themselves. The new copper panels are beautiful, an obvious reminder of our favorite metal. Large screens make reading easier, and a specially made emblem behind the podium makes for the perfect background for a photo op.

The upgraded look elevates and highlights our commitment to excellence, a space where politicians, developers and those we organize can see that we are THE power professionals. And thanks to all the union crafts who made our hall so beautifully and hopefully walked away with renewed pride in cross-trade solidarity.
