Huge milestone for Local 513-new hall, first event, and honoring the retirees who made it all possible. Strong past, Strong future!

Today marks a milestone for Local 513. After ten months of design, construction, and dedication by Matt Enloe and Troy Rozier, our Local is hosting its first event at our new hall in Jefferson City.

It has been an honor and a humbling experience to be part of bringing this long overdue hall to the region. To top it off, we have the pleasure of sharing lunch with our retirees as our first event in the building, the very members who made this possible.

Thank you to everyone involved, and to all who make Operating Engineers Local 513 one of the best in the business.

A judge has ruled that Hoffmann Brothers has violated federal labor law by silencing workers from discussing their own wages, benefits, and coworker information. This judge has ordered Hoffmann Brothers to rescind all unlawful policies.

Every worker in this country has the federally protected right to discuss their pay and benefits with their coworkers. No employer can legally take that away. Shame on Hoffmann Brothers for attempting to intimidate employees and suppress the very conversations that protect them.

The full ruling is public record. Read it for yourself here:
