LIVE! with Cathi...History of Labor Movement-Part 1

When and where did it all begin...what you're about to witness is not just about the History of Ironworkers but a modern interpetation, an analogy of blending the Classic Call of  the Classics that is compared to the dedication and artistry of IRONWORKERS-BALLET ON THE BEAM!

It all began on Tuesday, Feb 4, 1896 when delegates from Boston, Chicago, Buffalo, New York, Pittsburgh and Cleveland met at Moorehead's Hall at the corners of Second and Grant Streets in Pittsburgh.  Many of the delegates stayed at the nearby St. Charles Hotel at the Corner of Third and Wood Street.

Although our UNION was founded on that day the story and struggle of workers in North America and in the World has been a long one.

STAY TUNED...

Setting the Stage...etc.

Unions were alright in the past but...etc.

IRONWORKERS go back to biblical times...etc.

World's first written code of law...etc.

VULCAN, the GOD of FIRE and IRON...etc.
