Laborers Local 79

It’s the power and participation of our members that make us strong #laborersrising @local79nyc

Congrats to our 79 Brigade members who recently earned a vest after tirelessly volunteering for the recent NYCHA Public Housing Preservation Trust outreach campaign. This is #LABORERSRISING! ✊ Want to get involved in a Local 79 Brigade? Contact Jason Delgado (646) 455-9331 #1U

Because of her union job, Daphne built a real career with stability and good benefits. But climate change is threatening that progress, which is why she’s proud to see unions leading the way toward a cleaner, safer future. #EnergyIndependenceMonth #LaborLeads

#DavisBacon Prevailing Wage protects ALL #workers against exploitation. But @LIUNA's opponents want to see Davis-Bacon abolished & are busy muddying the waters w/fiction. DON'T BE FOOLED! ➡️ Click through to get the facts on Davis-Bacon (& learn what opponents are saying).

Shyann, a member of @local79nyc, says extreme weather is already making construction work harder. She believes unions must lead the shift to clean energy to protect jobs, build careers, and create a better future. 🌎 #EnergyIndependenceMonth

"@LenoxHill represents a vision for a healthier, more equitable NY, one where hospitals are strengthened through smart investments, where we support union jobs that pay the bills, and where every resident has access to quality, modern care" - Troy Watts nydailynews.com/2025/07/16/hea…

Before joining @local79nyc, Eli worked unsafe non-union jobs. Now he has training, benefits, and stability to build a better future. As climate change brings extreme weather, he’s proud his union is creating good jobs and protecting our communities. #EnergyIndependenceMonth

✊ The #DavisBaconAct has protected #PrevailingWages for 94 years for a reason... ...IT WORKS! The pillars of wage standards, registered apprenticeships, safe work conditions & more are built on Davis-Bacon. We won't let anyone demolish what's been ours for almost a century!

🎥 WATCH: @LIUNA VP @whosescity on the 2025 #LIUNA Leadership Conference: "[T]his #Union grows on the shoulders of our members. "That solidarity, on display every single day, as we fight, crawl & win victories along the way towards a million members."

Gary LaBarbera, President of the NYS & NYC Building Trades, knows we can’t have national security without modern energy system. This #EnergyIndependenceMonth, he’s celebrating the union workers #PoweringOurFuture and leading the fight against climate change. #LaborLeads

It’s with a heavy heart I share the passing of Past General President Arthur A. Coia. Arthur led #LIUNA through big changes and bigger fights—but never forgot the people. He mentored many, stood tall for our union, and left a lasting mark.

Today at our Leadership Conference, we saluted the service of Dennis Martire and Robert Richardson—two relentless leaders whose impact will be felt for generations. And we welcomed two labor warriors—Phil Ameris and Ryan Boyer—who took the oath and stepped up to help guide this…

Local 79 Brigade Captains from across the boroughs gathered with union leadership to discuss our vision for the rest of the year. From celebrating new Captains to deepening our commitment to organizing, this room was full of energy, pride, and purpose. ✊ #LaborersRising #LiUNA

#Local79 & members of @LiUNAEasternReg joined over 100 organizers at the 2nd annual #LaborersRising Conference in Chicago this Spring. LIUNA's best united to level up, strengthen our movement, and build real #power! Are you ready to #FeelThePower? #TBT #LiUNA #Local79 #1U

🤬 The BBB's attack on @LIUNA green-energy jobs is one part of the #Project2025 anti-union playbook. Another's repealing #DavisBacon Prevailing Wage (pg 604). Whether it's his plan or not, the Trump administration's enacted 40% of Project 2025 so far: latimes.com/politics/story…

🎥 #WATCH @LIUNA @GPBrentBooker on #BBB25 being signed into law: "We're fighting for jobs. "[T]he impact of this bill & what it's going to mean for our members and the wind & solar is ten times or even 100 times greater than the jobs lost at Keystone."

Behind the #BigBeautifulBill headlines are REAL consequences for working people. Yet once again, JOBS were left out of the conversation. #LIUNA members are powering America’s energy future — building wind and solar projects across the country. Their work matters. Their JOBS…

What really matters: JOBS! Tens of thousands of #LIUNA members work in wind and solar, building our #energy future with real hands and real hours. This bill? It puts their livelihoods at risk. 🎥 Check out my latest #DTC for the facts—and the fight ahead. #FeelThePower #LIUNA…

#LiUNA Chevrolet #NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series Driver and proud @LiUNA member, @TylerAnkrum wishes everyone a safe and happy Independence Day! 🏁🇺🇸🎇 #FeelThePower #LaborersRising

They built the foundation — now it’s on us to protect it! Over a century later, we’re still fighting the same fight: safety, dignity, and a fair wage. Corporate greed won’t win. Organize. Rise. Never back down. #LIUNABuilds #vintage #ThrowbackThursday #TBT
