Ironworkers Local 550

It’s a proud moment for all of us to see William V. Sherer II representing at the North America's Building Trades Unions conference.

From his time as former Business Manager of Ironworkers Local 550 to now serving as Mayor of Canton, his leadership continues to reflect the strength, dedication, and values of the Building Trades.

He’s not just representing a city—he’s representing every hardworking member of Ironworkers Local 550 and the entire Building Trades community with pride and integrity.

We couldn’t be more proud to see one of our own on that stage, carrying forward the voice of labor and the future of our trades.
