Laborers Local 79

HISTORY WAS MADE TODAY!!! 🎉🎉🎉 The #ConstructionJusticeAct has finally passed! This historic bipartisan bill guarantees ALL construction workers on city-funded affordable housing jobs will make a standard wage package of $40 per hour! WE DID IT 💫 #ConstructionJusticeNYC

👷‍♂️ Velar por el bienestar mental de otros debe ser algo normal. • Hable con sus compañeros. • Diga algo si necesita ayuda. • Ofrezca ayuda si es posible o infórmele a alguien que lo pueda hacer. Porque lo que pasa bajo el casco también importa. Más: lhsfna.org/home/about-lea…

👷‍♂️ Let's normalize #MentalHealth check-ins. • Talk to your brothers & sisters. • Speak up if you need help. • Offer #support if able, or alert someone else who can. Because what goes on UNDER your hardhat matters, too. More: lhsfna.org/home/about-lea…

🌸 Wishing all moms everywhere a #HappyMothersDay! And an extra special shout out to our @LIUNA #Union sisters who are mothers.

🗳️ Doe Run workers in Missouri are voting RIGHT NOW to join @LIUNA #Local829. @local79nyc stands in #Solidarity w/workers looking to unionize at Doe Run by protesting Doe Run's parent co. in NYC.

✊ Los trabajadores de Doe Run en Missouri AHORA MISMO están votando para afiliarse a @LIUNA #Local829 @local79nyc protesta en frente de las oficinas de la empreza matriz de Doe Run en NY en #Solidaridad.

📢 We will NOT be silent while #WorkersRights are under attack! But don't take our word for it. Hear it straight from @LIUNA members who took to the streets to make their voices heard on #MayDay!

✊ @local79nyc gathered outside Doe Run HQ in NYC in #solidarity with @LIUNA #Local829. We demand respect, fair treatment & the right to organize and Unionize without intimidation! This is what Solidarity looks like, b/c an injury to one of us is an injury to ALL of us.

🗣️ We talk about #safety almost every day, but it's important to remember #MentalHealth is as an important part of that conversation as physical safety. So, check in w/your Brothers & Sisters. Because what goes on UNDER the hardhat matters, too. More: lhsfna.org/home/about-lea…

💪 It's #NAW2026! Meet Theodore Ceruti, a @LIUNA Local 77 #Apprentice: "With LIUNA, what I put in is what I get out. "LIUNA showed me how to build something the right way, w/hard work, discipline & consistency. "It's not just a job, it's a foundation I can build my life on."

🎥 #MayDay is Organized Labor's Day! @LIUNA @GPBrentBooker: "We're standing together shoulder to shoulder. We're fighting with the brothers and sisters of the labor movement." #LIUNA VP @whosescity: "We're sending a message: if they come for one of us, they come for all of us!"

✊ On #MayDay, @LIUNA members from across @LiUNAEasternReg had many reasons to not be silent: From fighting to protect collective bargaining rights, to demanding an end to worker exploitation, to protecting our #Union way of life, Laborers made their voices heard in NYC!

✊ @LIUNA members from across @LiUNAEasternReg, lead by #LIUNA @GPBrentBooker & VP @whosescity showed up to the NYC #MayDay rally with one message: We will NOT be silent while workers rights are under attack! (1/2)

📲 @LIUNA VP @whosescity on #MayDay: "Join me, @GPBrentBooker & over 2000 of our @LiUNAEasternReg Brothers & Sisters as we march shoulder to shoulder & raise our voices under the banner of 'We Will NOT be Silent!'" MAY DAY RALLY & MARCH TOMORROW Washington Sq. Park 3:30 PM

🎗️ It's #WorkersMemorialDay. Last year: • 5,070 workers died on the job; • 1,075 #constructionworkers died, 2nd most in any sector; & • Workers spent 8 median days out of work from injury/illness. Honor our fallen & continue the fight b/c a safe job is every worker's right.

Endless thanks to our union brothers and sisters who made it down to Washington D.C. this week for LiUNA Lobby Day! When we fight together, we win together. ✊ #LaborersRising #LiUNA #UnionStrong

Laborers from Local 66, & 79, took to Capitol Hill to make their voices heard & meet w/ their elected reps. The union workers were loud & clear: Protect Project Labor Agreements, the Davis Bacon Act, & continue to #BuildUnion across this great country! This is #LaborersRising ✊
