Washington is in chaos.

This shutdown is nothing more than a lockout. #LIUNA members show up every day ready to build America’s infrastructure and energy future. Congress and the White House need to do their job so LIUNA members can do ours!

The work of a #LIUNA Laborer is demanding, but so are the rewards - a #UNION paycheck, great benefits, and brotherhood and sisterhood that last a lifetime.
