Laborers International Union of North America

Local 463 of the International Union of Electrical, Radio, and Machine Workers was founded in 1951 by James Trenz, a business agent of Local 1227 of the United Electrical, Radio, and Machine Workers of America. It was formed after a local election dispute and subsequent disaffiliation from the UE. Local 463 quickly grew in membership and became known for its pioneering efforts in workers' education and pension plans. It also actively engaged in philanthropic activities and received national recognition for its contributions to the community. With a peak membership of 3,500 during the Korean War, Local 463 organized electronic, machine, and sheet metal shops in the New York metropolitan area. It negotiated significant contracts with companies like Neptune Meter and Micamold. The union's commitment to transparency and integrity in its benefit plans earned the trust of employers, leading to smoother negotiations. Local 463 also championed civil rights and received awards for its human relations efforts. The union's headquarters is located on Parsons Boulevard in Jamaica, Queens.Generated from the website
