LiUNA (Labourers’ International Union of North America) members across Canada enjoy many benefits and standards on the job every day, including great wages, healthcare benefits, set working hours, breaks, health and safety regulations, overtime pay, and lots more.
Members are represented by their regional chapter of LiUNA, called a ‘local’. We are LiUNA Local 900.
We represent workers in the provinces of New Brunswick and Prince Edward Island.
Local 900 is run by a democratically elected executive board, which is responsible for making sure that the Local meets the needs and wishes of its members, keeping them safe, properly trained and employable, and providing them with fair wages, benefit coverage and job opportunities.
The Local recruits new members by reaching out to non-union workers to tell them about the benefits, rewards and opportunities that union membership with Local 900 provides, and encourage them to join. Non-union workers may also organize themselves in their workplace, exercising their right to be represented by a union.
LiUNA – the Laborers’ International Union of North America – is a powerhouse of workers who are proud to build the United States and Canada. A half-million strong and growing, we are united through collective bargaining agreements which help us earn family-supporting pay, good benefits and the opportunity for advancement and better lives.
LiUNA was founded on April 13, 1903, after Samuel Gompers, the President of the American Federation of Labour, sent out a request to all independent unions asking them to unite into an international union of construction labourers. This united group of unions has become what we know as LiUNA.
LiUNA was initially called the International Hod Carriers and Common Labourers’ Union of America. It was named after the hod, a tray or trough with a pole handle that is used to shoulder loads of materials such as mortar or brick on a construction site.
In 1965, the union took on its current name, and became the Labourers’ International Union of North America.
