<p class="style2">For Elizabeth Corrigan, just coming to work every morning is like a family reunion.</p>
<p class="style2">“Pretty much every male relative I have is an ironworker,” she says. “My mother used to sit right here, at this desk, for 15 years.”</p>
<p class="style2">Corrigan works as an administrative assistant in the offices of Local 40 of the Iron Workers Union, and like many union members, she has a tight web of family connections to the union, from her desk outside of the union president’s office where her mother sat before her, to the portrait that hangs in Local 40’s lobby. </p>
<p class="style2">Painted from a photo that appeared in New York Daily News, the painting shows Corrigan’s great-grandfather, Patrick “Paddy” Corbett, and her grandfather, Ray Corbett, in hard hats high above New York City, working on the aerial of the Empire State Building in 1952.</p>
