GST Armand E. Sabitoni gives his final address to #LIUNA leaders:

“Make no mistake we stand here today because of the leaders of our past and present. That is the real foundation of this union. A foundation built by many for the benefit for all.”

This week we celebrate change as the torch has been passed to a new generation of LIUNA leaders. It is the ultimate honor to congratulate both LIUNA General President Brent Booker and our very own LIUNA General Secretary-Treasurer Michael F. Sabitoni as they embark on their journey leading our over 500,000 strong, proud, and united members across North America.

“The New England Region was built on the sacrifices and contributions of leaders, past, present, and now future. Michael continues that legacy and together with Brent, they are a strong voice for all LIUNA families across North America, echoing the values of justice, honor, and strength,” said LIUNA Vice President & New England Regional Manager Donato Bianco, Jr.

The New England Region wishes them all the best as they begin their journey and start their work charting the course, leading our great Union forward for many years to come.

Our History Is Our Commitment

LiUNA has fought for workers for over a hundred years

From 1903...

Hundreds of Laborers Local Unions existed across North America at the turn of the century but they were not organized for effective power. But in 1903, Samuel Gompers, President of the American Federation of Labor, sent out a convention call to independent local Laborers’ Unions, urging them to join together and establish an international union of construction laborers.

...to today

In the 21st century LIUNA has led the way for trade unions in its commitment to growth and member activism. We have made a historic commitment to help more workers join the union with the passage of resolutions that raise more than $100 million a year for organizing — more than any construction union and more than virtually any union in North America.
