International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers Union Local 343

May Day Rally
2025-05-01 16:30 - 18:30 (America/Chicago) | Soldiers Field Rochester MN
On Thursday May 1, 2025, in cities across the country, we will honor the legacy of the workers who gave everything for the eight-hour workday and so much more—and we will carry their struggle into today’s fight for a country that serves the many, not the few. This is not just about commemorating the past… we are building the future.

Block Kids Registration Flyer 2026
Registration is NOW Open for our annual Block Kids Event at RCTC’s Heintz Center in Rochester. Please share with your 3rd – 5th grade teachers, parents and students! This is a FREE event sponsored by the National Association of Women in Construction (NAWIC).
During the event, the students will build a structure out of building blocks, string, construction paper, and aluminum foil. After the build time is complete, we have industry professionals that come in to judge the projects and interview the students. While the judges are judging, the students will then go to the Activity Area. In the Activity Area, the students will have an opportunity to have a hands-on experience with industry professionals.
Below is a link to the Block Kids website where the students can register and parents/guardians can learn more about the program.
