The Laborer's International Union of North America ( LIUNA) has played a
vital role in building America as we know it today.
But today " laborer" means much more than construction worker. The unions more than 800,000 members in more than 650 locals work in a wide variety of fields such as state, local and federal government service as well as well as health care, mail handling, custodial services, ship building, food service and hazardous waste removal (including asbestos and lead).
LIUNA represents workers in many different ways. We operate hundreds of pension, health and welfare, and training funds. We initiate programs to create new job opportunities for our members and guarantee safe working conditions at job sites.
The most successful organizing union within the labor federation today, LIUNA has organized not only construction workers, but health care workers, poultry processing workers, asbestos workers, service industry workers and others to provide them with representation and ensure rights the workers deserve.
