Laborers International Union of North America History
Born
of strife and struggle, LIUNA members have been uniting for better lives
since 1903.
LIUNA today honors a heritage that began in 1903 when
courageous workers overcame hostility, threats and violence to join
together for better lives. We honor that heritage through current
struggles - being heard in government, raising standards for workers and
employers on the job, and reaching out to a new generation of workers
yearning for a better life.
Throughout recent history, LIUNA members have been at the forefront of
the construction industry - which today is an economic powerhouse of 12
million working men and women who produce 5 percent of the gross
domestic product of the U.S. and Canada.
