As this year comes to an end, I want to take a moment on behalf of myself, General Secretary-Treasurer Armand E. Sabitoni and the entire LIUNA Executive Board to wish each and every member of our union family the best of the Holiday Season and a Happy New Year.

This season is a time to reflect and to look ahead. It has been a landmark year for LIUNA, as our great International Union has continued to grow both in numbers and in strength, increasing our ability to fight for good jobs with the good pay and benefits necessary to sustain our families.

Across the U.S. and Canada, the day-in and day-out dedication and commitment of our half-million strong membership and leadership has continued to place us among the most effective, respected, and powerful of labor organizations.

As we take into account our accomplishments this year and move proudly on to the next, I am certain that our best days are ahead of us with even greater opportunities ahead.

To each of you and your families, I wish you a safe, healthy and prosperous 2019.
