The Highway Bill: Choice to Create Jobs or Destroy Jobs
Our economy depends on a safe, efficient transportation system -- 10 percent of America's gross domestic product is tied to moving goods and people. Yet according to the U.S. Department of Transportation, our roads and bridges are in a state of crisis.
Infrastructure Investment
Once a country that put a man on the moon, today America's citizens cannot be assured of safely crossing the Mississippi River. It is time to rebuild America.
Davis-Bacon
Tried and true, the Davis Bacon Act has protected family-supporting wages for generations of workers and their families.
"Right to Work" Means No Union Work
A cornerstone of the anti-work agenda in states across the U.S., so-called "right-to-work" laws weaken the voices of workers and drag down local living standards.
Unscrupulous employers are evading state and federal taxes by incorrectly classifying employees as independent contractors -- leaving millions of workers without protections and benefits and taking needed revenue from state and federal coffers.
PLAs benefit working men and women, contractors, communities and taxpayers by ensuring projects are completed on-time and on-budget.
LIUNA is uniquely positioned to help build the energy systems, transportation systems and green buildings of tomorrow.
The Associated Builders and Contractors -- also known as the ABC -- is just a corporate front-group undermining taypayers, communities and hard work.
LIUNA was borne of immigrant workers struggling for a better life, and then, as today, our union stands for secure borders and rewarding the contributions of immigrant workers who contribute to our country.
The LIUNA Difference
LIUNA members build America not just with the hard and sometimes dirty and dangerous work they do -- but also with family-supporting pay and benefits that help them make our countries strong.
