ABOUT OUR LOCAL

Laborers’ Local 113 was officially chartered May 12th, 1933 in The City of Milwaukee. Our local originally covered only 3 counties, including Milwaukee, Washington & Ozaukee. In the early parts of the 2000's Local 392 of Waukesha, & Local 237 of Kenosha & Racine merged with Local 113 to form what is the current 6-county jurisdiction in South East Wisconsin that Local 113 presides over. The words “Justice”, “Honor” and ” Strength” written in the our logo, embody the core values of our International Union, Local Union and our members. With over 2300 active and retired members, Local 113 is the largest local in the state. We are proud to say we have over 150, Gold 50 Year Card members, which speaks to the loyalty our retirees have to our local union.
