Just days ago, Donald Trump signed an Executive Order that basically cut off all federal funding for most of our safety net programs, instantly creating funding issues all over America. This is chaos by design, and it will be followed by massive cuts to many of the most vital domestic programs in American history. We discuss this and more with guests Randi Weingarten of The American Federation of Teachers and Brent Booker, President of LIUNA.
Brent Booker, General President of the Laborers’ International Union of North America (LIUNA), joined the America’s Work Force Union Podcast to discuss the union’s growth, innovative programs and future outlook.
We build bigger, better, and bolder—just like Texas! From skyscrapers to stadiums, highways to high-rises, our crew of hard-working union brothers and sisters knows how to git things done right the first time.
We don’t just talk the talk; we put boots on the ground and muscle into every job, making sure Arlington, Dallas and beyond stays strong and growing. As a member of Local 154, you’re not just building structures—you’re building a future with fair wages, top-tier benefits, and a brotherhood as strong as steel.
Laborers 154 is always ready to roll up up sleeves and send out the best crews in Texas to build something incredible.
Union careers built the Texas way. With Laborers 154, you’re not just working a job—you’re building a career with union strength behind you. Enjoy fair wages, top benefits, job security, and a brotherhood that’s as solid as Texas steel.
Laborers 154 is built on the belief that workers deserve better wages, top-tier benefits, and fair treatment on the job. Through collective bargaining, unions give workers a united voice to negotiate for everything from higher pay to safer working conditions and healthcare. When workers stand together, they have the power to secure job protections, retirement plans, and work-life balance that non-union jobs just can’t match.
A LiUNA 154 career isn’t just about earning more today—it’s about building a better future for you and your family. With strength in numbers, we stand up, speak out, and win.
We believe the best way to build a career is with hands-on experience and top-tier training. Our apprenticeship program combines on-the-job learning with classroom instruction, giving you the skills needed to tackle any project. And the best part? You’ll earn a paycheck from day one. With guidance from seasoned pros and access to cutting-edge tools, you’ll gain the expertise to grow your career—and be union strong for life.
LIUNA wasn’t given a seat at the table—we built one. When employers exploited workers, we organized. When unions rejected us, we built our own. Now, 120+ years later, we’re 530,000-strong & STILL fighting for what’s ours.
