#Union construction worksites have fewer health & safety violations by a SIGNIFICANT margin. Our members are properly trained and properly equipped to promote safety on every jobsite. That's the #UnionDifference.

It's #AlzheimersAwarenessMonth.
Due to the nature of construction, workers have an increased risk of #Dementia and #Alzheimers. BUT there are ways to mitigate these risk by taking the proper steps.

We believe in care for our members that goes far beyond the jobsite. Our partnership with Blue Cross Blue Shield of Michigan provides resources for Laborers who may be struggling. You are never in this fight alone.

We are back with #MemberMonday, and today we are featuring Local 1098 retiree Jim Ancel. Jim shared his story of getting started as a #Laborer, working with his father and developing the skills necessary to take on any job. LIUNA provide Jim a path to prosperity, and he hopes the next generation will put in the work to improve their lives just as he was able to.

One of the benefits of joining LIUNA is knowing that you have the ability to retire with dignity after a fulfilling career, and staying engaged with your pension allows you to take your #Retirement a step further.
Being a #LaborerForLife, it means that you are equipped with the knowledge to make the most of your retirement years.

In an effort to #StopTheStigma on those suffering with #MentalHealth issues, we first need to acknowledge that these challenges are more common than many are willing to admit. The camaraderie that comes with being a LIUNA means we have each others backs when support is needed.

This #MemorialDay, let us honor and remember those who gave everything for our cournty. #NeverForget

Michigan's future is on the horizon and we cannot afford to miss the opportunities that #DataCenters are going to bring to our cities, counties, and state. Too many people don't realize that existing Data Centers meet many of their needs everyday and that need continues to grow. LIUNA members stand ready to get to work, and make sure these facilities are built right!

We are back with another #MemberMonday featuring LIUNA LOCAL 1075 Retiree Jerry Hall. Jerry's story is an incredible journey, joining LIUNA right out of highschool, working his way up in leadership, become the Business Manager of Local 1075 and eventually becoming Business Manager of the MLDC. His wisdom, expertise, and guidance left a lasting mark on the Labor Movement in Michigan, and he continues to share his advice even in retirement. Jerry also take a sense of pride in the generations of his family who have also joined LIUNA, now with two grandsons that are members.

#ConstructionSafetyWeek
While construction safety is a top priority each and every day, this week we want everyone to focus on raising the bar by not just treating it like a checklist, but also making it the culture. Everyday we focus a little more, and try a little harder to make sure jobsite safety is elevated.
