Local 19 Honors Retirees with a Holiday Lunch and Celebration

BCTGM Local 19 (Cleveland, Ohio) is proud of the important role that retirees play in our Union.

To show appreciation for their many years of hard work and dedication, Local 19 hosts two retiree luncheon celebrations. Held in December, more than 500 retirees and guests attended this year’s event that included a sit-down lunch, special union-made gifts and a visit with Santa.

“The BCTGM owes a debt to those who came before us. Much was sacrificed to build this great union. I was thrilled to attend this year’s annual retiree holiday celebration at Local 19 so that I could thank them myself,” said BCTGM International President Anthony Shelton.

Local 19 hosted nine holiday gatherings for Union members at seven locations throughout the region to allow members who work and live throughout Ohio, Pennsylvania and West Virginia a chance to celebrate the season with their Union family and friends.
