Sheet Metal Workers Local 45, an affiliate of the International Association of Sheet Metal, Air, Rail and Transportation Workers (SMART) that has been Central Iowa’s premier source for highly productive sheet-metal workers since the local was chartered on November 14, 1922, celebrated that 100-Year milestone on December 3, 2022, during its annual Family Christmas Party.

As part of the celebration, UNION HISTORIES produced a 100th-Anniversary History Book that tells Local 45's important story, which was distributed to all of the local's members. The book was prodcued at NO COST to the local, as UNION HISTORIES sold sponsorships and ads for the book -- which also paid for printing!


"The UNION HISTORIES team performed nothing short of excellence for Sheet Metal Workers Local 45. They contacted me approximately one year before our 100-year charter anniversary and discussed what they could do for us to put together an amazing piece of history. From that initial phone call to the delivery of the final product, everything was seamless. Calvin was very hands-on and receptive to our input and suggestions, while keeping us up-to-date at every point of the process. We can't thank UNION HISTORIES enough for what they did for us! We would definitely recommend them to anyone who is looking to have an anniversary celebrated or a history book created properly!"
