📢📢Shoutout to Local 609 apprenticeship graduate and Steward Hector Dacres, who was selected by the Framingham-Newton Building Trades Council to speak at the Apprenticeship Booth at ESAC 2026.
🎓Hector’s journey is what union opportunity looks like: from , to Local 609’s apprenticeship program, to journeyman, and now steward on the largest project our Local has ever worked on.
👏👏Hector continues to represent the best of our union through his involvement in labor events, union meetings, and local politics across the Northeast. His journey shows what’s possible when apprenticeship, hard work, and solidarity open the door to a better life for working families.
