Washington, D.C. (November 5, 2021) – Terry O’Sullivan, General President of LIUNA – the Laborers’ International Union of North America – made the following statement today:

Today’s long awaited vote by the U.S. House of Representatives to pass the Bipartisan Infrastructure Bill, the single greatest infrastructure investment in generations, is a victory for the hard-working men and women of LIUNA. The $1.2 trillion investment will restore our roads and bridges, our water systems, transit, and broadband with historic new investments....

Ballots are out and due by 8 p.m. on Tuesday, Nov. 2.

You can mail your ballot, as long as it is postmarked by the USPS by Tuesday, or you can drop it off at a ballot dropbox near you.

Voting in elections is important every year. We use our union's power to elect officials who support our work, believe we have the right to come together to create safe work places with better pay and better benefits.

The below list of candidates are endorsed by Laborers' Local 252.

How you vote is up to you, we believe these candidates support our union's values.

Dear Brothers and Sisters,

We are hearing a vote on the Bipartisan Infrastructure Bill, may happen TONIGHT. I appreciate everything you have done to get us to this point. This is a crucial moment, and so I must ask one more time....

Please make a call to Congress right now and urge your Representative to support the $1.2 trillion Bipartisan Infrastructure Bill, and to stop holding passage of the bill hostage. The time to pass this infrastructure bill is NOW! The number to call and ask for your Member of Congress is (202) 224-3121.

The advocacy of LIUNA members across the nation is EXTRAORDINARY. Please keep the effort up.
