Jacksonville move complete (12/11)
New union hall signals more progress for SIU

In late November, the SIU completed its move to a new union hall in Jacksonville, Fla.

The new facility has received universal praise from local rank-and-file members, who’ve said that the hall on Belfort Road is an improvement in practically every imaginable way – from the location to the surroundings to the building itself.

A ceremonial opening and celebration took place Dec. 10, following the monthly membership meeting. SIU headquarters officials and regional officials joined Seafarers, their families, company representatives, local politicians and other guests for the event.

Most of the photos below were taken during the ceremonial opening. The exterior photo and the ones of the counter were taken in November.
