Workers who seek to affiliate with our union are often forced to attend 10+ captive audience meetings by their employer where they try to disuade them from unionizing.

We're supporting SB3649 in Illinois so workers can be protected if they don't attend captive audience meetings.

A union card is the greatest tool we have to ensure gender pay equity.

Unionized women earn 23% more hourly than those without a union!

Attempting to hold Baltimore's rebuild of the Francis Scott Key Bridge hostage to advance political agendas is truly shameful. This is our community and we're ready to work for it.

'Our trades are very rewarding. I can walk down streets and say, in part, the buildings were done by these hands. I feel like I really make a difference when I get to tell people I did that.'

Best wishes to D. Taylor! As President of @UNITEHERE, D. Taylor was a leading voice in labor to bring the issues facing immigrant workers to the forefront.

We’ll miss his voice but will be sure to continue the fight to bring justice and worker power to immigrants across the US!

Related: building trades unions join progressive group in a different push for new public housing: a state public housing development fund for Rhode Island. Idea that unions opposed to big new development, w/ enviro standards in mind, is simply off base.

We’re taking bold steps to increase housing production in Rhode Island. I’m thrilled to introduce a bill to create a state public housing developer fund. Thank you to Reclaim RI, Rhode Island AFL-CIO, IUPAT, and all the housing champions in the General Assembly. bostonglobe.com/2024/03/29/met…

Most of the missing workers presumed dead following the Baltimore bridge collapse are Latino.

The Dept. of Labor considers construction 'high hazard,' and Latinos are more exposed to these dangers since they make up about a third of the industry. nbcnews.com/news/latino/ba…

Our union fights every day to combat wage theft by employers and make sure construction workers are paid every dollar they earned.

IUPAT District Council 58 helped nearly 60 workers in Nashville receive over $100,000 that they were owed in back wages from CPR Construction.

120 years ago today, Mother Jones is ordered to leave Colorado by the state for the crime of “stirring up” striking coal miners.

'The first thing to do when you’re faced with an injustice & you feel powerless is to raise hell. That’s what I do in my fight for the working class.”
