Local 888 believes that our members are our family, therefore, each year we schedule special events for our members to enjoy. One of our main annual events is the Atlantic City Day Trip that happens during Mayor June of each year. During the Atlantic City Day trip our members get to enjoy a bus ride to South Jersey with their Union Delegate and Union staff. Buses are provided for transportation from different locations for members and their loved ones.
