Welcome to The Laborers
Laborers.Org is produced by members of the
Laborers International Union of North America who firmly believe
that our members have a right to know all relevant and pertinent
information pertaining to the governance of the Laborers Union. All information on this site is for general use. Feel free to copy and disseminate.
Three reform groups have been prominent in
this field of activity - Laborers for a Democratic Union and Laborers
for Justice and Democracy and Laborers for Justice.
We hope to take back control of our union
from organized crime, institute democratic reform, promote fiduciary
responsibility and improve the economic and social welfare of
all Laborers. We hope to educate and empower the rank and file laborer to work toward progressive change. This web-site welcomes the free expression of thought regardless of political perspectives.
Welcome to an unofficial look at the Laborers Union of North America.
