Member Made Jobs

From the Willow Project in Alaska to local jobs in our own backyards, LIUNA members are building America’s future — and securing good union jobs in the process. Our all-of-the-above energy approach, commitment to smart regulation reform, and relentless advocacy show that when we organize and mobilize, we win.

A Laborer Rises

LIUNA wasn’t given a seat at the table—we built one. When employers exploited workers, we organized. When unions rejected us, we built our own. Now, 120+ years later, we’re 530,000-strong & STILL fighting for what’s ours.

Marching to One Million

As we kick off 2025, LIUNA is doubling down on our mission to grow stronger, expand our power, and continue marching toward our ambitious goal of ONE MILLION MEMBERS.

Through Laborers Rising, we’ve shown the incredible impact of solidarity and action. With over 25,000 volunteers and 200+ Volunteer Organizing Committees, we’ve built a network that is reshaping communities, influencing elections, and advocating for the rights of working people.

Laborers Give Back

Brothers and sisters, this holiday season is the perfect time to give back and strengthen our union! LIUNA members across the U.S. and Canada are showing gratitude through food drives, shelter donations, and support for veterans and storm recovery. Thank you to everyone involved in Laborers Rising. Together, we’re making a difference. Happy Holidays from LIUNA!

Rise Up

This November, our rights, wages, and retirement security are on the line. Politicians who want to weaken unions and take away what you’ve earned will be on your ballots. Take action to protect your union and your livelihoods.

Why Politics Matters

Protect your union and your livelihood! Politicians make federal, state, provincial, and local laws that define our rights at work, set safety rules on the job, and provide wage standards.

How a Project Goes LIUNA

Good union jobs cannot be taken for granted. LIUNA advocates to protect our jobs and rights at the state, local, provincial, and federal level and with contractors and developers.

Laborers Bill of Rights

Our rights were not given to us. Our founders fought so that we have the rights we have today. Every Laborer has fundamental rights on the job.

 

Laborers' Rights

Dear Brothers and Sisters,

What basic rights should EVERY LABORER have on the job? While the original United States Bill of Rights outlined the basic freedoms every American has, our union bargaining agreements ensure our workplace rights; from wages and working conditions to safety.

What rights do we still need to fight for? What basic rights should everyone have on the job site - like water and rest breaks - that may not be available to non-union Laborers?

Let's brainstorm the top 10 rights every worker should have and pave the way for better conditions ahead. Join your brothers and sisters in sharing what you think by filling out this form. It's time to voice what matters most.

Thank you for all that you do for this union. Together, we are the POWER! Together, we fight STRONGER! Together, we will make a DIFFERENCE!

Fraternally yours,
Brent Booker General President
