👎 LIUNA @GPBrentBooker on US House #Budget Bill passage: "Energy tax credits helped create thousands of good #union jobs for LIUNA members... "There's nothing ‘beautiful’ about leveraging our members’ jobs to pay for tax cuts for the wealthy." More: liuna.org/news/story/sta…

On #MemorialDay, we remember the brave men and women of our Armed Forces who gave their lives in service of our nation. Take time today to #honor and uplift those who made the ultimate sacrifice to secure our freedoms. 🇺🇸 We are forever in their debt.

🫵 Get #InTheKnow on #DavisBacon Wages! On federally-funded projects the Davis-Bacon Act sets the family-sustaining Prevailing Wages LIUNA members earn. W/O Davis-Bacon, our wages would go down & low road developers would undercut our signatories.

🎥 #WATCH: @GPBrentBooker on the federal budget reconciliation bill: "The current version of the bill? There’s some good things in it. "But this bill, in it's current form, is gonna take away almost 3 billion work hrs & 1.75 million #construction jobs."

👷‍♂️ #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.

✊🏿 Today is #Juneteenth. It marks the 160th anniversary of the moment in 1865 when news of #emancipation finally reached the enslaved people of Galveston, Texas, ending slavery as an institution in the US. Learn more about this momentous day at the link: nmaahc.si.edu/juneteenth

☀️ Happy #FirstDayofSummer, Brothers & Sisters! With a #heatwave next week: • Remember your heat stress prevention training • hydrate, Hydrate, HYDRATE & • Work safe (especially if you're not acclimatized) Check out Laborers' Health & Safety Fund of North America's article on UPF clothing: lhsfna.org/sun-protective…

🥵 #Heatsafety Alert—National Weather Service projects dangerous hot temps across DE this week. Work Safe: • Wear loose, light clothing • Wear sunscreen • Stay #hydrated: 8oz water every 15 min • Avoid caffeine/soda/alcohol • Use personal cooling items (cold packs, headbands) • Find shade

🥵 LIUNA VP Mike Hellstrom on this week's #extremeheat: "Hey, I don't have to tell you. It's hot out, it's humid out. It's record breaking, record setting heat. Make sure that you're staying #Hydrated. Make sure you're paying attention to your body."

👷‍♂️ 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.

🗣️ LIUNA VP Mike Hellstrom with some #WednesdayMotivation out of the NYS AFL-CIO // #UnionStrong Cornell ILR School #reunion: "I live by a creed that if they want it, they should f*****g fight me for it. And so I'm going to say I'm ready for the fight." More: ilr.cornell.edu/worker-institu…

🎥 LIUNA @GPBrentBooker #breaksitdown: "First we'll talk about the reconciliation bill. They're still trying to take away some wind & solar & green jobs... "On the good news front, the administration's gone ahead and continued the Biden EO on #PLAs."
