Brothers and Sisters,

As we enter 2023, I hope you and your loved ones are excited for a new beginning and many great opportunities. From important projects to Union events and community contributions, this year holds much in store for our membership. I look forward to seeing what our highly-valued Operating Engineers will achieve over the next twelve months.

Each year, our Union continues to grow its positive impact on our communities. Our membership achieved great success last year and I am optimistic that we’ll continue this trend in 2023. Every member plays an important role in the success of our Union, and I wanted to take a moment to express my gratitude for your hard work and dependability last year.

May 2023 be a healthy, enjoyable, and prosperous time for you and your family. Happy New Year on behalf of our full team at Local 4! God bless.

In solidarity,


William D. McLaughlin
