We hope everyone had a good weekend. We're back with another Member Monday! This week, we want to give a shoutout to Brother Wyatt. Wyatt joined our local back in 2021 and has been rocking and rolling ever since. Thanks for your hard work and dedication, Brother!

September is Suicide Prevention Month. A 2022 study found that suicide deaths in the construction industry outnumber on-the-job fatalities by 6 to 1. Protecting your mental health is just as important as any piece of PPE you wear. Know the signs.

What a weekend! Thank you to everyone who showed up to Labor Day picnics across the state. We had a blast celebrating the holiday that was earned by workers across America! Feel the Power, Brothers and Sisters!

We hope everyone has a great weekend, except for the people who are anti-union. We hope your weekend, which was brought to you by unions, is subpar.

Trump says U.S. will not approve solar or wind power projects The president's comment comes after the administration tightened federal permitting for renewables last month.

Actions like these aren't just bad for the environment; they are actively taking away jobs from hard-working Montanans. Many projects we had planned for next year are now in jeopardy because of uninformed decisions like these.

Meet Shakira. Ten years ago, she was living in a shelter with her three kids, working at a non-union hotel.

Now she's a member of HTC.

Unions are how working people can build a dignified life. But in a city as expensive as ours, they need local government on their side.

Corporations don't want to take care of their workers; they take care of themselves and their wealthy friends. That is why they don't want workers to unionize. They know there is power in numbers. Over 100 years of data show that.

We would not advise watching this if there are any brick walls around you because there's a very good chance you will want to run through it. That's the power of our GP.

This past weekend is what we mean when we say being a part of a union goes beyond the jobsite. We want to thank all of our brothers and sisters who came out for our Laborers Rising event to help clean up Bench Boulevard in Billings. Feel the Power!

Happy Monday, Sisters and Brothers! We want to start off the week by giving a shoutout to Sister Cory Rucker! Cory joined Local 1686 over 10 years ago and has been a shining example of what it means to be a union laborer. Thanks for everything you do, Cory!

We need union members across the state to show up for these town halls for the Sentinel project on the Malstrom Air Force Base. Minuteman III was built by unions 50 years ago, there is no reason Sentinel shouldn't be union-built as well!

This May Day, we want to recognize the work that was done before us, the work currently be done, and everything the future holds for the labor movement. It is the determination for better wages, benefits, and way of life that makes our union so great!

Montana right-to-work legislation fails twice in one day Moderate Republicans blocked a blast motion on the Senate floor hours after the legislation was tabled in committee.

β€œWe have heard, overwhelmingly, over and over again, that the people of Montana do not want this,” countered Sen. Cora Neumann

Thank you to Senator Neumann and the other 31 senators who listened to their constituents and voted "No" on RTW!

Look, we don't care whether you're a part of Chiefs Kingdom or if you sing, "Fly, Eagles Fly!"
What we care about is that your party is union-made!
So, here's a list of food and snacks that make sure you do that.

Unions don't just apply to the jobsite. Unions are at the negotiating table, making sure members get a fair wage, good benefits and have safety regulations. Unions are in the home, making sure food is on the table and bills can be paid. Unions are about protecting our members in every aspect of life

Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. stood shoulder-to-shoulder with labor unions in the fight for dignity, fair wages, and workers' rights. His dream of economic justice and social equality lives on through the strength and solidarity of #LIUNA members today. #MLKDay

If Democrats Want to Reconnect With the Working Class, They Need to Start Listening to Unions The Democrats blew it with non-union workers in the 2024 election. Unions have a plan to get the party on message.

Across the board, more union members voted for Democratic candidates than the general public.

As Democrats decide on their new leadership and next steps, they must re-center working people.

Working people must be at the table. And we've got a plan. www.thenation.com/article/poli...

The path forward may have gotten tougher, but that doesn't mean we are backing down. Unions will always show up and fight for what workers have earned and deserve!
