Are You In the Know on Project 2025?

Dear Brothers and Sisters,

If you haven't heard about Project 2025 yet, here's what you need to know. This is a blueprint - nearly 900-pages long - cooked up by allies of Trump for a takeover of the government. Trump's claims of ignorance about Project 2025 - are just that. His former staffers wrote it and some of his current staffers have promoted it.

The proposals that impact LIUNA members' work directly include cuts to overtime pay, eliminating Davis Bacon prevailing wages, banning project labor agreements, threatening the union rights of federal workers, and allowing contractors to back out of union agreements mid-contract. The list goes on.

August 28, 2024

Dear Brothers and Sisters,

On August 28, 1963, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. delivered his iconic “I Have a Dream” speech—a powerful call for equality, justice, and the American promise of opportunity for all. Today marks the 61st anniversary of the March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom, a pivotal moment in our nation’s history that still resonates.

As we reflect on this historic day, we are reminded that the fight for jobs and freedom is far from over. At LIUNA, we continue to carry the torch of Dr. King’s vision, standing up for workers' rights, advocating for fair wages, and ensuring safe working conditions for all. Our commitment is to build a future where every worker has the opportunity to earn a decent living, provide for their families, and contribute to their communities with pride.

As we honor Dr. King’s legacy, we must recognize that our fight isn’t over. To protect and advance the freedoms we cherish, it’s essential that we vote for leaders who stand with us. This November, remember that our greatest tool is the power of our vote. Let’s use it to support those who share our commitment to jobs and freedom.
