Brothers and Sisters,

As you are aware, public health officials have discouraged all gatherings in the wake of the COVID-19 outbreak.

In light of the growing concern for the health and safety of our employees, we have decided to restrict the entry of
non-employees to our offices. While both our Union and Welfare offices remain open at this time, we are offering reduced hours. The union hall will be open Monday thru Thursday from 8:00am to 2:30pm - Lunch will be 12:30 to 1:00. We are asking members to make any deliveries and drop-offs in our drop-box at the main entrance. Our phone lines also remain open for any questions or concerns

Fraternally yours,

Jeff Loughlin

Greetings from Business Manager Jeffrey J. Loughlin

Welcome to the website of the International Union of Operating Engineers Local 137.

Local 137 represents the Operating Engineers in the counties of Westchester, Putnam and parts of Southern Dutchess. Operating Engineers operate and maintain heavy equipment such as cranes, loaders, backhoes, excavators, forklifts and bulldozers which help build the roads, bridges, tunnels, buildings and infrastructure that keep our great nation moving ahead.

Currently our members are working on one of the largest infrastructure projects in New York State and the nation, the new Governor Mario M. Cuomo Bridge, formerly known as the Tappan Zee Bridge. We are also manning the DEP Water Tunnel Project in Dutchess County.

There are other major projects underway in Dutchess County, including the new Vassar Brothers Medical Center in Poughkeepsie, NY. and the Cricket Valley Power Plant in Dover, NY. We expect these projects to provide our members with steady employment as well as making substantial contributions to our funds. We are also patiently waiting for the rebuilding of our infrastructure, which will require the skilled talents and services of Operating Engineers.

As always, we are united in solidarity and proud to be Operating Engineers.

Please review each tab to learn more about Local 137 and if you have any questions, please contact our new web manager at webmaster@iuoelocal137.com.

Thank you,

Jeff Loughlin
Business Manager
