👷‍♂️ #DYK: #DavisBacon Wages don't just pay us LIUNA members better. They're also a tool to prevent non-union contractors from undercutting our signatories & exploiting construction workers. W/O Davis-Bacon, it'd be a race to the bottom, w/only unscrupulous contractors winning.

🔥💯 The dangerous heat wave will continue in full force through Wednesday, with temperatures in the mid 90s to near 100° and heat indices 100-110°. Thursday will be a noticeable improvement, but still hot and humid. The real relief will arrive by Friday. #PAwx #NJwx #DEwx #MDwx

🗳️ #NYC LIUNA members! The Primary Election is TOMORROW! Don't forget to Get Out The Vote for our #Labor-endorsed candidates across the city. Endorsement list: liuna-ny.org/endorsements20…

👷‍♂️ Think of your #DavisBacon Wages as a #construction minimum wage based on area standards. Changes to how that minimum wage is calculated—like using BLS-Labor Statistics stats, instead of U.S. Department of Labor's current 3-step process (that counts our total package)—could mean deep cuts to your paycheck.
