Working people should expect the government to help raise them up, not push them down. @NABTU President Sean McGarvey is right: our government should focus on what’s important to workers — creating good jobs and creating a path to the middle class for us and our families.

The first major heat wave of the season is a reminder that heat safety must remain a top priority on every jobsite. Acclimatization, hydration, rest breaks, and proper planning save lives. As temperatures climb, let's make sure every worker goes home at the end of the day. enr.com/articles/63156-early…

As demand grows for the workers building America's infrastructure, expanding access to training has never been more important. We're proud that TradesFutures is receiving support from @Google to help strengthen pathways into the union skilled trades and prepare the workforce of the future. Learn more goo.gle/43UJyY6

My union story is like so many others, growing up in a working-class family that scraped to get by from paycheck to paycheck until our lives were changed by an @IBEW apprenticeship. Our family lived the union difference. #AFLCIO26

Stargate Michigan will be the first data center built under NABTU and @OpenAI's historic MOU concerning data center construction. This project will be built under a building trades agreement, guaranteeing the highest standards of safety, training, and craftsmanship. Together with our Michigan State Building and Construction Trades Council, we’re ensuring that this project is built by the most highly skilled union workforce in the country, setting a national benchmark for how data centers should be built.” - President Sean McGarvey

The skilled workforce America needs is already here. With 1,600 training centers and more than 300,000 apprentices and trainees, the NABTU training system is built to meet demand and deliver projects safely, on time, and at scale. nabtu.org/press_releases/the…

The conversation about “skilled labor shortages” is missing a critical fact: The Building Trades already train and deploy the workforce building America’s infrastructure, manufacturing facilities, power generation, and data centers. The issue is not a lack of workers. It’s a failure by some owners, developers, and national contractor groups to commit to early workforce planning and long-term investment—the same commitment the Building Trades and signatory contractor partners have made for decades.

The Building Trades don’t just offer jobs. We build lifelong careers, strong pensions, healthcare, and pathways to the middle class.

NABTU apprentices earn while they learn through world-class, union training that delivers the skills, safety, and experience needed to get the job done right. From day one, apprentices are building a future they can be proud of.

"The construction industry’s in the top three for death by suicide, and has struggled with the opioid crisis in this country too. It’s not talked about enough. We lost a member just last week who took their own life, 36 years old, who was a bridge painter in Pittsburgh. It’s all because that American dream isn’t there."

America's energy is UNION built 💪

Demand for skilled trades workers is outpacing other industries, with more young people turning toward apprenticeships, technical training, and hands-on careers. As America builds more energy projects, infrastructure, manufacturing facilities, and AI data centers, the need for highly trained Building Trades workers keeps growing. constructiondive.com/news/th…
