Something stirred in the lab this year, and we couldn’t have brought it to life without our sponsor, USW Local 8888! 🖤
The 9,700 Steelworkers of USW Local 8888 build the Navy’s submarines and aircraft carriers in Newport News. Now they’re helping us build a stronger, better-fed Hampton Roads. Shipbuilders rock the boat, and this Halloween they’re rocking the graveyard too. Thank you, Local 8888! 🙌
