    Passing the Hammer - Trades council, like the city it serves, changing faces By Jay Fitzgerald, Boston Herald
    With Nigro at the helm, the Building Trades Council has grown to 40,000 members from 28,000, thanks to aggressive recruitment, passage of union-only legislation for some projects and, last but not least, huge construction projects that have kept thousands at work in recent years.

    Among them: the Big Dig, the Deer Island sewage-treatment plant, the new convention center in South Boston, the FleetCenter and multiple projects at Logan International Airport.
