The Laborers are one of the fastest-growing unions in North America. Laborers fight for more opportunity for workers and employers, and for better wages, good benefits and safe jobsites. Laborers build everything from skyscrapers to tunnels. Laborers make buildings safe by removing hazardous materials like asbestos and lead. Laborers serve the public in hospitals and government across the continent. Laborers unite for the voice we deserve in important political issues.

Members run the union, electing officers at all levels and participating in the day-to-day affairs of their local unions. Members set priorities for contracts and are the key in the union's growth and success at increasing market share.
