The Trump Administration may is trying to look tough by assaulting a US Senator, but their weakness is on full display now that Israel has defied the regime by attacking Iran and killing any chance of a nuclear deal that Trump thought would bring him a Nobel Prize. This clown car of an administration just can’t seem to do anything right … and working families are the ones paying the price. Our guests are Brent Booker of LiUNA and Phil Glover of AFGE.
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.

Engaging with In the Know means you’re not just a part of Laborers 154 — you’re building a stronger future for yourself, your family, and your brothers and sisters in the union.
