When it comes to milestone union events, sometimes union members or event organizers forget some of the finer details. While the dinner menu, venue and entertainment all make the biggest impression of the evening, another small detail can help make your event memorable for years to come - an event branded gift for members to take home.

You’ve seen them. The individuals who collect all the free promotional items they can when they attend a conference or event.

Promotional products make a great add-on to your marketing campaign. Whether you’re picking out pens to pass out during a career fair, using gifts to show your appreciation to members or ensuring your organization’s name leaves a lasting imprint on visitors to your JATC or Union Hall, using promotional products can go a long way.

On the first day of March 1916, eleven men banded together and formed the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers Local 129 in Elyria, Ohio. 

One hundred years later, as the union looked to celebrate an impressive anniversary milestone, Local 129 members knew they could trust LaborTools to plan a one-of-a-kind event that would delight the membership and honor the legacy of the great union.

On Saturday, September 8, LaborTools produced the 100th anniversary celebration of the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers Local 146 of Decatur, Illinois.

LaborTools recently traveled to the west coast to produce a completely turn-key event commemorating the 100th anniversary of the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers (IBEW) Local 332 of San Jose, California.

Following the overwhelming success of last year’s program collaboration, the Lakeland Foundation contracted LaborTools to produce their signature “IMAGINE” event on September 21. From planning and event decor to audio and video production, LaborTools had a hand in every stage of the process that led the "Roaring 20s Speakeasy" themed night to be a great success and help raise funds for Lakeland Community College.

It’s great when we are able to execute a public relations campaign for a client and then able to quickly witness the positive results we had hoped to achieve.

The International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers Local 82 of Dayton, Ohio recently celebrated its 100th Anniversary and to ensure the celebration was something the members, retirees and honored guests would never forget, LaborTools was called in to plan the entire event. LaborTools handled all aspects of the event including staging, audio and video, as well as entertainment, location selection and commemorative gifts. All attendees and union members will also receive a commemorative DVD and book chronicling Local 82’s unique history. There were roughly 1,000 attendees in attendance at the 100th anniversary.
