Laborers Re-affiliate with National AFL-CIO

While Minnesota's Laborers never left the Minnesota AFL-CIO, National AFL-CIO President Richard Trumka announced yesterday that LIUNA has fully rejoined the AFL-CIO.

Trumka said, "We are very happy that LIUNA is rejoining the AFL-CIO at a critical moment for working people. Union members, like all working families, have been hard hit by a brutal economy and decades of policies that have undermined the middle class.  More than ever, now is the moment for a unified labor movement. And as we rebuild and strengthen the labor movement, we will work together to create good jobs, restore a middle-class economy, and elect leaders who stand with working people."
