Politics plays an important role in our everyday lives as citizens but it is even more important in construction.

At all levels of government, local, state and federal, government officials and policy makers are making the rules that will impact:

• The investment in construction jobs (infrastructure)
• The standards by which contractors will be selected to get that work.
• What wages and other workplace standards must be in effect on those jobs.

And it is we citizens - you, your coworkers and families - that put the people in office who make these decisions.

To be active politically as a LIUNA member, you can vote, contribute to the LIUNA PAC, volunteer to elect candidates who will fight for workers and stay involved with your Local Union.
