LiUNA Multi-Regional Conference | Chicago

I recently covered the Laborer's International Union's (LiUNA)  Multi-Regional Conference in Chicago. This 540,000-plus member union met to discuss organizing, health and safety on the job, plans for growth to a million members, build their share of the workforce, and signed an agreement of solidarity and cooperation with the 140,000-plus members of the International Union of Painter and Allied Trades. The energy and skill of these workers was infectious.

Thanks to Ed Rehfeld of LiUNA for the assignment, and to the hardworking men and women of LiUNA for their empowering righteous efforts to upbuild their lives and the nations of Canada and the United States.

Laborers Rising | LiUNA

I recently photographed a multi-day conference held in Minneapolis of labor organizers for LiUNA, the Laborer's International Union of North America. This large and active organization is driving to double their membership of hard-working men and women across the US and Canada to be one million strong.

It was a powerful, uplifting, practical, and energizing gathering.

Thanks to Ed Rehfeld of LiUNA for the assignment, and a cheer for these folks who quite literally build our nations.
