✊ #EqualPay for Equal Work!
The guarantee of being paid the same, regardless of gender, was the driving force behind The Equal Pay Act, which was signed into law 63 years ago TODAY.
And that's the goal @LIUNA is fighting towards on every job.
Same job. Same skill. Same paycheck. Brother OR Sister. That's what the 1963 Equal Pay Act is supposed to guarantee, and what we're still fighting to make real on every jobsite.

✊ #WednesdayMotivation—"What can Labor do for itself?
"The answer is not difficult. Labor can organize, it can unify; it can consolidate its forces. This done, it can demand & command."—Eugene V. Debs, Activist & Trade Unionist.
THIS is #LaborersRising: laborersrising.org/
🎥 @LIUNA#Local472 members are keeping the momentum building at @GatewayProgNews . Just listen to 472 #Labor Foreman AJ Bagni:
"We need to keep going. We can't stop.
"We gotta do this big [concrete] pour on this slope. It's a pretty steep angle, so it's gonna be fun."
🎥 Put @LIUNA VP @whosescity in a room of @JerseyCity developers & he's going to drop some truth:
"#LIUNA is a development #Union & we are uniquely positioned to be a partner in every aspect of development.
"There's not much separating us on development, other than fair wages."
🗳️ It's Primary Election Day in New Jersey!

"If you're struggling & you think you need help, please reach out. I'm here.
"The #Union’s here. Somebody's there to help."
