Listed below are 384 members, with initiation dates beginning June 1940 through March 1950. With years of service to the Iron Workers ranging from 79 to 69 years, we admire them for their commitment and loyalty to our organization. These ironworkers fought to win many of the rights and protections we enjoy today, and continue to believe in the solidarity of our union. We owe a debt of gratitude to these long-standing members, and they can best be honored by continuing in their footsteps and fighting for our way of life and our great organization.
