Dorsey Hager, Executive Secretary-Treasurer of the Columbus/Central Ohio Building and Construction Trades Council, joined the America’s Work Force Union Podcast to provide an update on the Intel megaproject in Central Ohio. He also discussed the need for better infrastructure in Central Ohio and their Labor Day community event.

Hager provided an update on the union construction work underway in Central Ohio. He discussed the status of the Intel project, which has almost 2,000 union members currently working on site. As the work continues to ramp up, Hager expects 2,500 affiliated members on-site before the end of the year. 

Several questions have been raised about the need for better infrastructure and improved transportation measures in Central Ohio. Hager discussed the issues and potential legislation to assist this effort. This will be crucial to sustaining the region’s growth over the next decade, he added.

Finally, Hager discussed Labor Night at the Clippers on Labor Day. The event featured several members of C/CO BCTC getting together at the local minor league baseball game to build camaraderie. He discussed his costumed adventure during the event and how it served as a great finish to Labor’s night in the community.
