1ST LIST OF UNION BLOCK BRICKS
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The word is out!
The Union Block Brick has taken off, thanks to Local #401. “This idea has given us a theme for the Ironworkers Walk of Fame”, states Mackinaw City Village Manager, Jeff Lawson. “We wanted the Ironworkers to be a part of the design and placement, and now that vision has become a reality”, says Lawson. Union #401 requested a larger display, referred to as a "Union Block Brick", and Village officials are using that design to create a path theme for all locals.
