On September 12, 1938, Ironworkers Local 597 was chartered in Jacksonville, Florida, uniting skilled tradesmen with a common purpose — to build a stronger future through hard work, safety, skill, and solidarity.

From the bridges, buildings, and industrial projects that helped shape Northeast Florida and Southeast Georgia to the generations of ironworkers who continue to raise the standard, Local 597 has been proud to serve our members, our communities, our employers, and our industry for 88 years.

While our members take a couple of well-deserved days off, we hope everyone gets a chance to enjoy the progress being made on the Jacksonville Jaguars Stadium of the Future — and take a moment to appreciate the skilled union ironworkers helping make it happen.

Through hot days, long days, and plenty of nights, our members have been putting in the work — from breathtaking heights above the stadium to areas deep inside that most people will never get to see.

There’s a tremendous amount of skill, hard work, and pride behind every piece of steel that goes into a project like this.

Enjoy the time off, brothers and sisters. You’ve earned it. Be proud of what you’re building. 🏗️⚒️

Thank you to everyone who attended our Benefits Information Meeting on July 23!

Ironworkers Local 597 was proud to host this informative session, where President Scott Roy, along with representatives from Southern Benefit Administrators (Fund Administrator for our Healthcare, Pension and Annuity Funds) and BHA Consulting (Pension Fund Actuary), shared valuable information with our members and their families.

The presentation covered how your benefits work, where to go for assistance when you need it, and how to make the most of the benefits you've earned through your hard work. We appreciate everyone who took the time to attend, ask questions, and invest in their future.

A special thank you to Ironworkers USA Credit Union for providing the great swag and helping spread the word about their financial products and services available to our members.

Our goal is to ensure every member understands and takes full advantage of the benefits available through Ironworkers Local 597. Thank you again to everyone who made this event a success!
