Local 147 History
The history of Local 147 Sandhogs is a long and rich one. The
Sandhogs have been building New York City since the Brooklyn Bridge.
When the 100th anniversary was celebrated, a book was written by
Paul E. Delaney, titled "Sandhogs A History of the Tunnel Workers
of New York." It is this book that goes into great detail of our
history. Please feel free to click the document below to read our
entire history.
