We are the hands that build San Francisco. We build worker power in construction & provide pipelines to careers w apprenticeship. #webuildSF#UnionizeCalifornia
The conversation about “skilled labor shortages” is missing a critical fact: The Building Trades already train and deploy the workforce building America’s infrastructure, manufacturing facilities, power generation, and data centers. The issue is not a lack of workers. It’s a failure by some owners, developers, and national contractor groups to commit to early workforce planning and long-term investment—the same commitment the Building Trades and signatory contractor partners have made for decades.

Thank you @XavierBecerra for pointing out that worker displacement is not a forgone conclusion!
It’s a political choice & we look forward to working on protecting jobs!
Congrats to May's Tradeswomen Hero Award Winners!

Americans across the country have come together in prayer, anger, and hope to mourn the assassinations of Alex Pretti and Renee Nicole Good by DHS agents. DHS impunity must end and Secretary Noem must resign, be fired — or be impeached. -NP
“Low-paying construction projects with immigrant labor are often the focus of the union’s organizing efforts. [Our union] believes it’s an important step in reversing what he sees as the gradual degradation of a middle-class job. The effort is partly about adding new members, but it’s also about recouping market share to protect the union’s existing, pensioned membership.” https://t.co/w3wkiuAJBr
“This project uses zoning and new state housing laws to do exactly what San Francisco needs right now,” - we agree. With Align’s workforce agreement, we ensure skilled union jobs, local apprentices, safety, and accountability as this proposal moves forward.

For over a century — through wars, depressions, good times and bad — collective bargaining has been the one thing working people could count on.

An iconic 1930’s image of Iron Workers atop the RCA Building during Rockefeller Center construction was edited to show AI tech titans as Person(s) of the Year in @TIME. Labor builds America and we don’t do it by pushing deregulation or by taking credit for anyone else’s work.
Each day, our union works to fight misclassification and the underground economy, and to empower workers to fight for their rights in the workplace.
