United Steelworkers of America - Local Union 5795

---

This is the headquarters for the Local 5795 of The United Steelworkers of America (USWA) and the main office of the International Representative of District 6 USWA. Local 5795 has twelve executive officers which consist of a president, vice-president, recording secretary, financial secretary, treasurer, guide, inside guard, outside guard, and three trustees. In the mid-1970s, the membership of the union reached over 2,500; however, in the downturn of the early 1980s membership shrunk to a low of 1,024. Present membership is slightly over 1,100.

Although this is a large building, there are so many union workers the annual meeting is held in the Labrador City Arena to accommodate everybody. A barber shop, club and taxation service are located in the basement. This building is special to us because our formal wedding was held here. Although used as a wedding reception hall, as far as we know, we're the only couple ever married here. However, a month after we were married a couple repeated their vows here while celebrating their 25th anniversary.
