Unions led the way in protecting children from predatory labor practices, pushing state by state to implement age restictions in a humanitarian effort. While this issue feels distant, we remember our history so that we never go back.

Building #Union means knowing that a project is going to be done right THE FIRST TIME. That means saving money not having to do frequent repairs and restorations.

It's #MemberMonday and we recently sat down with LIUNA LOCAL 1075 Secretary Treasurer and Business Agent Dave Willert. Dave shared with us how he got started in LIUNA and the benefits he has enjoyed. Additionally he shared his advice for new #Laborers, his hopes for the next generation, and the sense of pride he feels as his son has started on his journey to becoming a third generation laborer.

#Union construction worksites have fewer health & safety violations by a SIGNIFICANT margin. Our members are properly trained and properly equipped to promote safety on every jobsite. That's the #UnionDifference.

It's #AlzheimersAwarenessMonth.
Due to the nature of construction, workers have an increased risk of #Dementia and #Alzheimers. BUT there are ways to mitigate these risk by taking the proper steps.

We believe in care for our members that goes far beyond the jobsite. Our partnership with Blue Cross Blue Shield of Michigan provides resources for Laborers who may be struggling. You are never in this fight alone.

We are back with #MemberMonday, and today we are featuring Local 1098 retiree Jim Ancel. Jim shared his story of getting started as a #Laborer, working with his father and developing the skills necessary to take on any job. LIUNA provide Jim a path to prosperity, and he hopes the next generation will put in the work to improve their lives just as he was able to.

One of the benefits of joining LIUNA is knowing that you have the ability to retire with dignity after a fulfilling career, and staying engaged with your pension allows you to take your #Retirement a step further.
Being a #LaborerForLife, it means that you are equipped with the knowledge to make the most of your retirement years.

In an effort to #StopTheStigma on those suffering with #MentalHealth issues, we first need to acknowledge that these challenges are more common than many are willing to admit. The camaraderie that comes with being a LIUNA means we have each others backs when support is needed.

Michigan's future is on the horizon and we cannot afford to miss the opportunities that #DataCenters are going to bring to our cities, counties, and state. Too many people don't realize that existing Data Centers meet many of their needs everyday and that need continues to grow. LIUNA members stand ready to get to work, and make sure these facilities are built right!
