Celebrating 40 years of partnership between Toyota Motor Manufacturing Kentucky (TMMK) and the Central Kentucky Building Trades!

This success would not have been possible without the dedication, craftsmanship, and hard work of Local 189 Members!
A special congratulations to Robert Akin, recent retiree of Local 189 and former President of the Central Kentucky Building Trades, who was honored with a Special Recognition Award for his years of leadership and service.

Solidarity in the pouring rain. ✊🌧️
Today, union members stood shoulder to shoulder with the workers at Third Street Stuff in Lexington, Kentucky, showing that union busting tactics will never be stronger than worker solidarity.
Rain couldn’t wash away our determination. When one union is attacked, we all stand together. Workers deserve respect, fair treatment, and the right to organize without intimidation or retaliation.
To the workers fighting for their voice at Third Street Stuff: you are not standing alone. Local 189 stands with you!
