Evansville is a city of southern charm with its riverboat gambling and small town feel. Its diversified economy thrives with manufacturing facilities such as Sabic Innovative Plastics, Mead Johnson, AK Steel, Toyota, Alcoa, plus many more. It also has one of the largest concentrations of coal-fired electric generating plants in the United States.
UA Local 136 was chartered on April 14, 1900, with the determination of 11 founding fathers. These men saw the need, had the insight, and took action to make the future brighter for men and women working in the piping industry in southern Indiana and southeastern Illinois.
