Happy 4th of July! Let’s remember today these words from President Abraham Lincoln: “There is no America without labor & to fleece the one is to rob the other.”

The underground economy in the construction industry is predicated on the exploitation of immigrant workers.

Please take a few minutes to listen to our immigrant members' stories who are fighting for dignified wages and benefits & are standing together to end this exploitation.

Yolanda J. @maketheroadnj member, has been working for a temp agency for two years. She said she has been to more than 20 factories during that time and she has seen lack of transparency of client companies.

[IUPAT @GoIUPAT]

Make no mistake, the same Supreme Court Justices that attacked and overturned women's reproductive rights believe firmly in attacking and eroding our rights at work too.

We must fight back as organized labor.

IUPAT President @Jimmy_iupat calling on #AFLCIOConv delegates to support immigrant workers who speak out against bosses who exploit them!

[RI Painters Union @RIPAINTERSUNION]

When developers receive public subsidies- there must be a commitment to working families to receive fair wages. @RISpeaker workers need H-7985 to ensure contractors pay prevailing wages on projects that receive state tax incentives. #EndWageTheft #LivingWage

Let's be emboldened, encouraged and given strength by those fighting from coast to coast to unionize and take on corporate giants like Starbucks and Amazon.

This is our moment to be a guidepost that inspires and to organize our industry, the construction industry.

[Congressman Donald Norcross 🇺🇸 @DonaldNorcross]

So… we’ve only raised the federal minimum wage once in the last 13 years. In that time, we’ve seen:

4 different Presidents
31 different iPhones
3 different Spidermen

It’s long past time to raise the wage.

"The best and most durable protection for LGBTQ+ working people against discrimination is a good union contract. When I was fired for being gay, the only people who would help me were unions. Unions stood up for us, they taught us how to fight back."

[IUPAT @GoIUPAT]

When we stand together, we can break down barriers and accomplish anything.

IUPAT's LGBTQ+ Committee and our union's leadership are fully dedicated to ending discrimination that divides us and to representing and uplifting everyone who does our skilled trades.

[IUPAT @GoIUPAT]

Wage theft and worker misclassification by employers is rampant in our country, especially in construction.

Our union is proud of the work we've done w/ @QuintonLucasKC, @KOneillkcmo and our partners to enforce and put an end to wage theft & misclassification in Kansas City.

[Congressman Donald Norcross 🇺🇸 @DonaldNorcross]

Doing a Registered Apprenticeship shaped my life and laid the foundation for me to go from construction work to Congress.

I support the House-passed COMPETES Act to give that opportunity to every worker in America.
