Local 7603 believes in fair pay and fair treatment for a day’s work. We believe everyone deserves a fair chance or a second chance. At some time every employee needs special help. We are here to provide that assistance. We are here to maintain and grow our membership. We are the people who built these companies and this great country. We believe in the American family. We support politicians who support labor, no matter their political party affiliation.
