History opened its doors in Chicago — and union labor made it look easy.
Labor Boss was honored to serve as the exclusive labor contractor for the Obama Presidential Center Opening: dozens of unions, hundreds of workers, one seamless event. Every jurisdiction clear. Every shift covered. Zero conflicts. From load-in to lights up, this is what happens when union labor works as one.
The unions won. The city won. The Obama Presidential Center won. And Chicago showed the world how it's done — built by this city, opened by this city.
Thank you to the Chicago Labor Unions involved for their leadership, and the Obama Foundation and the Obama Presidential Center for the opportunity to work on this historic project. Thanks also to Agency EA for being an incredible partner, to every union and member who stood side by side, and to the City Of Chicago for a moment the South Side and the world will remember for generations.
Special shoutout to the tireless work of these individuals to help us all make history together: Rick Cosgrove, Danica Milich, Emily Robinson, Michael Collins, Hollie Lewandowski, James C. Franczek, Jr, and McGann, Ketterman, & Rioux.
Proud of our team. Prouder of this town. When we work together, everybody wins.
