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.
