This week in labor history in 1943 – The special representative of the National War Labor Board issues a report, “Retroactive Date for Women’s Pay Adjustments,” setting forth provisions for wage rates for women working in war industries who were asking for equal pay. Women a year earlier had demanded equal pay for comparable work as that done by men.

Local 773 would like to congratulate Henry, age 7 & son of a Local 773 member who was one of four winning entries selected in this year's National Work Zone Awareness Week #NWZAW poster contest.

The Laborers’ Local 773 reminds you that laborers are now being hired. To learn more, visit www.ILLaborers.org

Applications for apprenticeships are accepted online the first Tuesday of each month.
