IUOE Local 150 hosted a facility tour to highlight its long-standing partnership with the biopharmaceutical industry and skilled union labor’s critical role in building and supporting life sciences infrastructure. For years, Local 150 has worked alongside pharmaceutical companies to construct the laboratories, manufacturing plants, and corporate campuses where cutting-edge medical innovation happens.
The tour showcased Local 150’s world-class training center, which provides hands-on experience with advanced equipment. It trains not only the next generation of operators but also offers opportunities for experienced workers to gain new skills. Apprentices earn while they learn, graduating into high-paying, stable careers with benefits and long-term security.
Speakers emphasized that behind every life-saving medication is a skilled union workforce ensuring these facilities are built to the highest quality and safety standards. With demand growing across the pharmaceutical sector, the collaboration between union trades and industry remains essential to expanding access to healthcare and supporting economic growth.
