Service Awards

Union labor as we know it was established many years ago by the courageous men and women who stood in solidarity and fought for the common interests of the American worker. We want to recognize our Brother and Sister members who chose to join the labor movement and have maintained a long record of service through their membership in Pipeliners Local Union 798 and the United Association. Through their hard work and dedication to the labor union movement, the sacrifices of those that came before them were not in vain.
