🎥 ICYMI: The RISE Reunion assembled 200+ of our best advocates for a day of collaboration & camaraderie.

Like @weareliuna.bsky.social VP @uniontillidie.bsky.social said:
"Without activism in our #UNION, we have no union.

"It's the MEMBERS that give us the power in our union."

Together, we #RISE!

(🧵1/2) No better way to spend Monday than to have @weareliuna.bsky.social members meeting with @kim.senate.gov & @menendez.house.gov

Thx to Local 472's Kenneth McCabe & Local 3's Curease Oliver for stepping up and sounding off on the issues that matter to #LIUNA members and their families.

💯 agree! #Solidarity is our superpower and #Organizing is the way we build that power into positive action for our Union and ALL Workers!

🎥 @weareliuna.bsky.social GP Booker breaks down a simple solution to the #LockoutShutdown & other Washington chaos:

"Our solution to this problem is organizing.

"Our solution is building power with #LIUNA.

"Our solution is solidarity w/our union & American workers & the American public..."

LIUNA @weareliuna.bsky.social · 4d

✊ Over 400 @weareliuna.bsky.social members, alongside hundreds of their brothers & sisters in the NJ AFL-CIO, came out this morning for #Labor Walks in support of @mikiesherrill.bsky.social.

THIS is what support for a #ProUnion candidate looks like.

Let's land this thing!

👷‍♂️It's #MemberMonday!

Ivan Carrion, a LIUNA Local 3 member, shares how the union changed his life & how, as a certified LIUNA Training instructor at CCLTAFNJDE , he's helping to change lives every day, working to keep our brothers & sisters safe, trained & LIUNA Strong!

In Congress, @mikiesherrill.bsky.social led the fight to get the Gateway Tunnel funded, and we're happy to stand with her in the fight to ensure it stays funded and gets built.

🛤️ @mikiesherrill.bsky.social is the leader we need as NJ Governor.

She led the fight to get the #GatewayTunnel funded & she'll lead the fight to ensure it stays funded.

Jack Ciattarelli won't fight for our #jobs, won't disagree w/Washington and, on #Gateway, he just said work hasn't stopped yet.

Mikie Sherrill @mikiesherrill.bsky.social · 11d

Donald Trump is directly attacking New Jersey. He's threatening nearly 100k good jobs and inflicting even more pain on our economy and commuters.

Our state has fought too hard for the Gateway Tunnel — we cannot have a governor who doesn’t think this is a “New Jersey problem.”

LIUNA Eastern Region @liunaeasternreg.bsky.social · 11d

📢 @weareliuna.bsky.social Local 3 filled the streets of Jersey City, demanding an end to #workerexploitation.

Laborers are Rising against developers like Namdar Group & #ConcreteRising.

Workers can't afford to wait a year to be paid.

🎥 Watch @weareliuna.bsky.social VP @uniontillidie.bsky.social on the Fed. Gov't #Lockout #Shutdown:

"It's not an America First agenda. It's disgusting. It's anti-American, and it has to stop.

"The only way we fight lockouts are through solidarity, standing shoulder to shoulder with one another..."

#WATCH: @weareliuna.bsky.social General President Brent Booker break down the Fed. Gov't #shutdown:

"In just 24 hrs, the Gateway Tunnel funding is in jeopardy & the DOE clawed back $8B from projects in 16 states.

"This shutdown is nothing more than a lockout."

LIUNA @weareliuna.bsky.social · 12d

Washington is in chaos.

This shutdown is nothing more than a lockout. #LIUNA members show up every day ready to build America’s infrastructure and energy future. Congress and the White House need to do their job so LIUNA members can do ours!

Watch GP Brent Booker #breakitdown

LIUNA Eastern Region @liunaeasternreg.bsky.social · 13d

🗣️ Demand Concrete Rising & GP Concrete pay #constructionworkers what they're owed!

Give #JCBrigade members Cary, Laura, Tyler, Andrew & Merle 30 minutes and a camera, and they'll show you #LaborersRising through Brigade membership!

Their energy & passion for @weareliuna.bsky.social is contagious, so come to the next Brigade mtg. & get involved!

LIUNA Eastern Region @liunaeasternreg.bsky.social · 15d

🎥Through the lens of our members, you see the heart of @weareliuna.bsky.social

At the Tradeswoman Build Nations Conference Natasha showed us what solidarity, pride & opportunity look like—and shared it at our Sept JCBrigade union-fluencer training.👷‍♀️

LIUNA Eastern Region @liunaeasternreg.bsky.social · 15d

🧑‍🧑‍🧒For this family @weareliuna.bsky.social is more than a job — it's a future, a community, and a bond that connects them to other Laborers across the region.

These members are proof that when you're part of LIUNA, you're building more than projects — you're building a legacy.

LIUNA Eastern Region @liunaeasternreg.bsky.social · 15d

👷‍♀️ Representation matters.

As part of our #JCBrigade union-fluencer Training, Keilyn captured the energy of her time at the Tradeswoman Build Nations Conference, reminding us of the importance of #women in the trades — and the pride our @weareliuna.bsky.social sisters carry every day.

LIUNA Eastern Region @liunaeasternreg.bsky.social · 15d

😬 If Jack Ciattarelli is willing to doxx a #veteran (who's a sitting US Congresswoman) & her family to try and score political points, what do you think he'd be willing to do the rest of us?

The lack of judgement here is #despicable, dangerous & disqualifying.

Mikie Sherrill @mikiesherrill.bsky.social · 15d

If this is how Jack treats a proud Navy veteran, imagine what he would do to you.

Watch:

LIUNA Eastern Region @liunaeasternreg.bsky.social · 18d

🤬 @weareliuna.bsky.social Local 172 #apprentice & US Army #veteran Sherron Murphy shares his outrage at @mikiesherrill.bsky.social's full military record being doxxed by the Ciattarelli campaign:

"I'd be livid if someone gained access to my unredacted Army records & released them to the public."

LIUNA Eastern Region @liunaeasternreg.bsky.social · 18d

🤬 #WATCH: @weareliuna.bsky.social VP @uniontillidie.bsky.social, a Navy #veteran, on @mikiesherrill.bsky.social's full, 100% unredacted service record being given to the Ciattarelli campaign:

"Every veteran in the country should be alarmed that this gov't would just release our info to anybody."
