A community with a rich history and strong labor background, Milwaukee has long been known as a union town that fosters and promotes advocates on behalf of working families. Local 200, originally chartered in May 1935, is entering its 73rd year of representing hardworking men and women in Eastern Wisconsin.

"We were greatly impressed and encouraged by the participation and involvement of Local 200 stewards in this extensive training," said Thomas L. Millonzi, Secretary-Treasurer of the local. "But I must honestly say we were not surprised because the stewards of this local have always been top-notch representatives at all of our job sites."

Millonzi, the rest of Local 200's Executive Board and business agents assisted regional training coordinators Shawn D. Ellis and Iliana Flores with the program delivery.

"The experience and dedication of the local union, elected officers and staff members were instrumental in making this training program a success," said Ellis, a former Milwaukee resident. "It was a great privilege to return to a community that is a source of so many great memories and help conduct a training for a great group of stewards."
