Be One in a Million: Sign the Petition to Build America
America was the first to put a man on the moon and to build a super-highway system. But today, we can no longer be assured of crossing bridges safely or protecting our families from failing dams or levees. Add your voice to the petition and urge Congress to make building America a national priority. GO »

Making Green Jobs Good Jobs
Investments in weatherization will create a new generation of green jobs - but we need to make sure green jobs are also good jobs.
Weatherizing jobs are good jobs if they:
- Pay a living wage that can support a family
- Provide healthcare benefits and retirement security
- Offer high quality training and skill development
- Allow workers to organize and collectively bargain
- Hire workers from local communities
- Open doors to career paths and new opportunities
LIUNA is fighting to make green jobs good by pushing our elected leaders at every level and by joining with allies like the Blue Green Alliance and the Apollo Alliance. Read LIUNA General President Terry O'Sullivan's speech on green jobs.
