On Monday, December 19, painter apprentices from Painters and Drywall Finishers Locals 3, 487, 741, and 913 gathered at Third Baptist Church in San Francisco’s Alamo Square to donate their time, talent, and resources for an ongoing church restoration project.

The painter apprentices from the four painters’ locals, which are each represented under District Council 16, were all convened by Business Representative Joe Sanders of Local 913 for this day of prep work.

Organized Labor got a peek at what these hard-working apprentices were up to throughout the day, and we’re sharing those snapshots here with you today.
