It was a fun-filled weekend for Local 825 families! Saturday brought Dozer Day at the NJ Training Center, followed by Sunday’s Trunks, Treats & Touchdowns at the East Brunswick VFW.

With trunk-or-treating in the parking lot, football games on inside and a delicious barbecue, this event had something for everyone to enjoy. Thanks to everyone who helped make both days a great time!

Local 825 partnered with NUCA yesterday for Dozer Day at our NJ Training Center, bringing families together for hands-on fun with the equipment that helps build our communities. Food trucks, face painting and balloon animals added to a great day for all ages.

Thank you to our members, training center team, NUCA and everyone who helped make the day possible.

Local 825 operating engineers are hard at work inside the Hudson Tunnel Project’s access shaft in Weehawken. From above, the equipment looks small. The work our members are doing is anything but. Happy Friday 825!

Local 825 operating engineers spent nearly 20 years helping clean up the former PPG Industries site on Garfield Avenue. Yesterday’s groundbreaking marked a new chapter for the property, where our members will help build a neighborhood on the land they helped reclaim.

Anyone familiar with the long-vacant property near the Garfield Avenue light rail station knows how long this transformation has been coming. The first phase will bring 508 homes, including 102 affordable apartments, and a 33,000-square-foot public park.

Local 825 is proud to put this land back to work for Jersey City. The result will mean good-paying construction jobs, homes for working families and new green space for the community.

New Jersey Department of Transportation Commissioner Priya Jain visited the Local 825 Training Center to learn how the union’s apprenticeship program prepares operating engineers for the jobsite. Business Manager Greg Lalevee and Training Center Director Willie Vaccaro led Jain on a tour of the facility, joined by NJDOT Chief of Staff Juan Carlos Nordelo and Devin Mulroy, senior aide to the governor’s office. The tour provided a firsthand look at the instruction, equipment and practical experience that support the development of skilled union operating engineers.

Thank you to .dot Commissioner Priya Jain for taking the time to experience our training firsthand.
