For too long, residential construction workers have been denied the most basic dignity and rights on the job. Now they're uniting for equality.
Nearly 1 million working men and women labor each day building America’s houses. At the hands of corporate homebuilders, they face unsafe working conditions, substandard pay and exploitation.
Denied the most basic dignity and rights, LIUNA is helping residential construction workers unite for better lives. Working with homebuyers and community, civic and faith groups, those who build America’s houses will win living wages, safer jobsites and quality construction skills – and homebuyers will know they are making a life investment in a home, not just a house that denies the American Dream to others.
The historic effort has begun among thousands of hard-working men and women in metro Los Angeles, Phoenix and Las Vegas.
